Ingredients
  

2 cups seedless grapes (either red or green)

1 lime (zested and juiced)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Preparation of Grapes:

    - Begin by rinsing the 2 cups of grapes thoroughly under cold running water. After washing, remove any leftover stems and ensure the grapes are completely dried using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This is an important step since excess moisture can hinder the lime sugar from adhering to the grapes effectively.

      Making Lime Sugar:

        - In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the zest of the lime and a pinch of sea salt. Use a fork or your fingers to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the lime zest is evenly incorporated throughout the sugar for a balanced flavor.

          Coating the Grapes:

            - Transfer the cleaned and dried grapes into a mixing bowl. Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the grapes, then gently toss them to ensure that each grape is coated evenly with the juice.

              Sugaring the Grapes:

                - After coating the grapes with lime juice, sprinkle the prepared lime sugar mixture over them. Toss the grapes gently again, making sure that every grape is well-coated with this sweet and tangy mixture.

                  Freezing the Grapes:

                    - Next, spread the sugar-coated grapes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This arrangement is crucial in preventing the grapes from freezing together into a clump.

                      - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the grapes freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until they become solidly frozen.

                        Serving:

                          - Once the grapes are frozen, take them out of the freezer. You can either enjoy them right away or transfer them to an airtight container for storage in the freezer, where they will last for up to 2 weeks.

                            - For an extra burst of flavor and to enhance presentation, consider sprinkling a little more of the lime sugar mixture on top right before serving.
