Ingredients
- 2 cups of seedless grapes
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks
Directions
- Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly. Skewer each grape with a wooden skewer or toothpick, piercing through the stem end.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Continue to cook the sugar syrup without stirring until it turns a deep amber color. This can take about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious. Stir until the caramel and cream are well-combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir well.
- Dip each skewered grape into the caramel sauce, coating it evenly. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
- Place the coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. Repeat the process with the remaining grapes.
- Let the caramel grapes cool and the caramel to harden for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the caramel has hardened, gently remove the skewers or toothpicks from the grapes.
- Serve the caramel grapes as a sweet treat or chill them in the refrigerator for a cool and refreshing dessert. Enjoy!
