Have I mentioned that it is really hot here in Texas? Well it is. This past Sunday evening I attended Bible study. Our leader brought frozen grapes for us to share. However, they were not just regular frozen grapes! They had strawberry banana sugar-free jell-o powder sprinkled all over them. They were so good!
This week I hunted down a recipe and made these for our recipe review, because I thought that we could all use a nice cold treat. I did not follow this exact recipe, because I improvised a little. Enjoy!
|
Ingredients. Feel free to use any kind of Jell-O you want! |
|
First I took the grapes off of the vine. Please note that I started with fresh, not frozen grapes. |
|
Next, I washed the grapes and drained them really well. |
|
Then I put the washed grapes into a large Ziploc bag. |
|
Next, I added the dry Jell-O powder to the Ziploc bag. |
|
I tried to sprinkle the powder over as many grapes as possible. |
|
Close your Ziploc bag |
|
and shake it until the powder has been evenly spread over all the grapes. |
|
After that I let out all the air in the bag before putting it in the freezer. |
|
Put the grapes in the freezer |
|
until they are completed frozen. |
|
Once they are frozen that's it, you're done! Feel free to take them our and enjoy them whenever you like! |

Ingredients
3 cups grapes
1 small box Jell-O Sugar-Free Gelatin Dessert (any flavor), dry powder
Instructions
Place frozen grapes in a quart sized zip top bag, add Jell-O powder, zip bag and shake well. Be sure that your frozen grapes are right from the freezer because any condensation will cause clumping. I place a small amount in ramekins as treats for the kiddies (well all right I confess, me too!) and quickly return leftovers to the freezer.
Serves: 6; PointsPlus+: 2
Just a note when you are counting your pointsplus+: Technically grapes are zero pointsplus+ and technically Jell-O is zero pointsplus+. However, when I put these into Weight Watchers recipe builder it calculated the nutritional facts for both of these ingredients and it came out to be 2 pointsplus+ per serving. Either way it is a pretty healthy and refreshing snack option.
