Frozen Grapes Recipe with Honey and Pistachios
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup red or green grapes
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup honey
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Remove grapes from their stems. Prepare the assembly line by placing the honey and the pistachios into separate small bowls. Set them aside the baking sheet and grapes.
Take a grape and dip it into the honey, letting the excess drip off so that there is a thin coating on just half of the grape. Immediately pat the honey side of the grape on the pistachios. Place the honey and pistachio-dipped grape onto the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining grapes.
Once finished, put the baking sheet in the freezer for at least two hours.
