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.
