Proving that Sour Grapes are Not Always Hard to Swallow



Another delicious Summertime treat on a hot Summer day are nice, cold and refreshing Sour Patch Grapes. Like a Sour Patch Kid, these grapes are sweet and sour. There are a lot of recipes on the internet for this recipe, but we added something to make them extra sour and not just sweet like the other recipes. My boyfriend is a huge fan of sour candy so he had to try this. Considering that it's basically grapes and Jello, this is also an excellent alternative to candy, a great way to cool down on a hot day and a fantastic way to incorporate more fruits into diets. I'm not a fan of sour candy, and I loved these. Now to figure out a way to make these alcoholic. 
Sour Patch Grapes Done Right

  • 1 package green grapes
  • 8 oz package Lime Jello (unprepared)
  • juice of 3 lemons
Rinse grapes in a colander.
Place into a bowl with the lemon juice and toss around. Let sit for a few minutes and continue coating them in the lemon juice.
Empty contents of the lime jello into a Ziploc bag.
Strain excess lemon juice from grapes, but be sure they are still saturated. 
Place all grapes into the Ziploc with the jello powder and shake.
Put into a bowl, bag, or plate and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until powder has hardened a bit and looks like little crystals. 
Try not to eat them all.

  1. To make them alcoholic you need but to pop them open and let suit for two days in open air before candying. The bacteria in the air makes a great catalyst to turn the stars in grapes and apples into booze.

  3. That's a fantastic idea! I never thought about that. I was thinking along the lines of Vodka soaking or something. Thanks, Josh!
