Description

These Prosecco Grapes are an elegant and refreshing treat perfect for parties and gatherings. Marinated in bubbly prosecco, they take on a delightful fizzy sweetness, enhanced by a light coating of cane sugar. With crunchy grapes pierced to absorb the flavors, this no-cook recipe transforms simple fruit into a sophisticated, sparkling bite-sized snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups green grapes (crunchy grapes work best)
  • 1 bottle of champagne or prosecco (does not need to be expensive)
  • 1 cup cane sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grapes: Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove them from their stems to ensure they are clean and ready for marination.
  2. Poke holes in grapes: Using a toothpick, carefully poke several small holes in each grape. This step allows the prosecco to seep into the fruit, maximizing flavor absorption.
  3. Marinate in prosecco: Place the pierced grapes in a large bowl and pour the bottle of prosecco over them. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the grapes to soak up the bubbly liquid fully.
  4. Drain and sugar coat: After marinating, drain the prosecco (which can be saved for cocktails) and toss the grapes gently in the cane sugar while they are still moist so the sugar adheres evenly.
  5. Chill or freeze: Spread the sugared grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve. Frozen grapes can be brought to room temperature before serving if preferred.

Notes

  • Use crunchy grapes for best results and avoid any that are soggy or showing signs of aging.
  • Poking holes in the grapes helps the champagne to penetrate and flavor the fruit better.
  • Toss grapes in sugar while wet for optimum sugar adhesion.
  • These grapes can be frozen for later use and thawed to room temperature before serving if desired.
  • The soaking time can be extended up to 24 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
