Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs Grapes
- 2 c Sugar
- ⅔ c Water
- ½ c Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 Toothpicks
- Food coloring gel
Instructions
- Rinse grapes thoroughly. Place the grapes on a paper towel to let them dry. Insert toothpicks or skewers in the grapes from the stem end.
- Take a heavy-bottom saucepan and add water, sugar, and corn syrup to it.
- Turn ON the flame from medium to high to boil the syrup. Continue stirring the syrup while boiling. Keep it boiling for about 5 minutes to attain the optimum consistency of syrup.
- Check the temperature of boiling syrup with the help of a candy thermometer. If the temperature of the syrup is 300 to 305 degrees, this is the perfect hard crack stage for the syrup to be set on the grapes.
- Take parchment paper lined with a baking sheet to align and coat cracked grapes.
- Pour and mix vanilla extract into the syrup.
- Dip each grape into the hot syrup. Make sure that grapes are properly rinsed and dried before dipping into the syrup.
- After covering all the grapes with syrup coating, sprinkle Jolly Rancher flavor over the coated/ cracked grapes.
