Step 1

Combine ¼ cup of sugar and ¼ cup of water in a saucepan, and heat over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

Add grapes to sugar mixture, an mix to make sure grapes are well-coated.

Step 4

Place sugar-coated grapes on a wire drying rack, making sure the grapes don't touch. Allow them to rest for 30 minutes or up to an hour. By this point, the sugar mixture should be drier but still sticky. (You can use a cookie sheet if you don't have a wire rack.)

Step 5

Place the remaining granulated sugar in a bowl or on a plate. Add grapes one at a time, and swirl until completely coated in sugar.

Step 6

Place back on drying rack and allow to rest for another 30-60 minutes, then serve and enjoy! Or they can be refrigerated for several days in an airlock container.
