Sugar Frosted Grapes
- 40 large, unblemished green grapes
- 1/3 cup egg whites (from about 2 eggs)*
- 5 drops (scant 1/8 teaspoon) fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- At least 3 hours and up to 7 days before serving, remove the grapes from their stems and place in the freezer.
- When ready to serve, whisk the egg whites with the lemon juice in a large bowl until frothy.
- Put the sugar in another bowl.
- Drop the grapes into the bowl of egg whites, then pour the contents of the bowl through a strainer to drain the liquid.
- Dump the grapes onto a paper towel and roll them around until most of the excess egg white has been absorbed.
- Working in batches, add the grapes to the sugar and shake them around to coat.
- Shake off any excess.
- Transfer to serving glasses and serve immediately.
- Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
- To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
