The red and green grapes must be blemish free and smell fresh. Wash grapes and dry thoroughly before sugaring. The process is easier if done by two people.
Ingredients
2 egg whites
2 large bunches red and green seedless grapes
2 cups berry sugar
Method
- In a large bowl, place two egg whites that are stirred, not foamy, and at room temperature. In a second bowl, pour berry sugar.
- Grab a palm-sized clump of grapes by the stem and lightly coat with egg white, covering all surface area of fruit. Shake off excess egg whites.
- Hold egg white covered grapes over bowl of berry sugar. Still holding grapes by the stem, use a spoon to gently sprinkling berry sugar overtop. Do not over sugar or fruit will become clumpy.
- Once grapes are evenly covered with sugar, place on parchment paper and let dry.
- Once dry, place immediately into a bowl, compote or glass holder to serve.
