# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're the easiest way to feel like you're doing something good for yourself when all you're really doing is eating frozen fruit.
  • Perfect for those moments when you want something sweet but your kitchen is already too hot to turn on the oven.
  • Even finicky eaters seem to accept frozen grapes as a legitimate treat.
02 -
  • Wet grapes will freeze into a solid clump—the patting dry step isn't optional, no matter how tedious it feels in the moment.
  • Using a parchment-lined sheet is the difference between grapes you can grab individually and a solid block of frozen fruit that requires chiseling.
03 -
  • Buy your grapes a day or two before you plan to freeze them so they're at peak ripeness when they go into the freezer.
  • Keep several batches going at different stages of freezing so you always have fresh ones ready when the moment strikes.
