02 -
  • Use metal skewers if you plan to make these regularly—they're reusable and conduct cold better
  • Don't skip drying the grapes; wet grapes won't hold the sugar coating well

  • Store any leftover lime sugar in an airtight container for up to a week
  • If grapes start to soften after freezing, they've likely developed ice crystals—consume within 24 hours for best quality
