Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds crisp seedless green grapes
  • 1/3 box Bright Citrus Lemon Jello Blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 box Watermelon-Flavored Jolly Rancher Gelatin Crystals
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 box Tart Green Apple Jolly Rancher Dessert Mix
  • 1/3 box Sunny Orange Jello Gelatin Powder

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Grapes

  • Start by rinsing the grapes under cold water. Remove any stems and make sure they’re clean and dry. Place the grapes in a large bowl and set them aside. This is your base.

Step 2: Mix the Gelatin

  • In a separate bowl, combine the gelatin powders: Bright Citrus Lemon, Watermelon-Flavored, Tart Green Apple, and Sunny Orange. Add the sea salt to this mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin

  • Pour the 1 cup of filtered water into a small pot and heat it on low. Stir in the gelatin mixture until it fully dissolves. This process usually takes about two minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4: Combine with Lime Juice

  • Stir in the tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the gelatin mixture. This adds that brilliant zip and balances the sweetness nicely.

Step 5: Coat the Grapes

  • Now, pour the gelatin mixture over the prepared grapes in your large bowl. Gently toss the grapes with the mixture to ensure each one gets a good coating.

Step 6: Chill and Set

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours or until the coating has set. The grapes will absorb the flavors and components from the gelatin, ensuring they become a delicious treat.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once chilled, remove the grapes from the fridge. Scoop them into a serving dish and watch as everyone’s eyes light up. This is where the fun begins!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Grapes: Always opt for fresh, firm grapes. They hold up better with the gelatin coating.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to mix up the gelatin flavors. Berry blends or tropical mixes could add a unique twist.
  • Serve Cold: These grapes are best served chilled. The colder they are, the more refreshing they’ll taste.
  • Try Berry Medleys: While grapes are the star, adding a few raspberries or blueberries can create a delightful color contrast and taste.
  • Make Ahead: These grapes keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, making them a great make-ahead snack option.
