Ingredients
  

2 cups seedless grapes (a vibrant mixture of red and green)

1 medium lime (zested and juiced)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust for desired sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grapes: Start by rinsing the seedless grapes under cool running water. Use a clean kitchen towel to gently pat them dry, ensuring they are completely moisture-free to prevent the formation of ice crystals later on.

    Make the Lime Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice and zest with the honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is well blended and the honey fully dissolves, creating a smooth glaze.

      Coat the Grapes: Transfer the dried grapes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared lime glaze over the grapes and gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture. Allow the grapes to marinate at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to deepen the flavor.

        Skewer the Grapes: Take wooden skewers and thread on the marinated grapes, aiming for 5-6 grapes per skewer. If the skewers are particularly long, you may cut them in half for better handling and serving ease.

          Freeze the Skewers: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the skewers flat on top, making sure to space them out to prevent sticking. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the skewers to freeze for around 2-3 hours or until they are completely frozen solid.

            Serve: Once fully frozen, take the skewers out of the freezer. If you'd like, add a handful of fresh mint leaves on top for an added splash of color and a refreshing herbal note. Serve immediately to enjoy these delightful bite-sized treats!
