Sweetener & Flavoring
- 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2–3 teaspoons citric acid (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish and Grapes: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then thoroughly clean the grapes under cold water to remove any impurities.
- Marinate Grapes: Place the cleaned grapes in a large bowl and pour the juice from 2 fresh limes over them. Mix gently with a spoon to evenly coat all grapes with lime juice, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Mix Sweetener and Citric Acid: In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated Monk Fruit sweetener and citric acid. This mixture will provide the candy-like coating.
