Tips for the bunch when they lose the crunch

Become a grape pro and learn how to roast, freeze and dehydrate grapes when they become overripe!

 

Roast ’em

Roasted grapes are a perfect addition to any dish! Roasting brings out their rich, sweet flavor.
Here’s how:
  • Toss your grapes with olive oil and roast at 420° for 20-25 minutes.
  • Once done, let them cool and add to your favorite salads, share on a charcuterie board, serve on a pizza or just snack on ‘em alone.

Freeze ’em

The easiest but also the coolest option, this treat will keep you frosty in the summer months. 
Here’s how:
  • Place washed and dried grapes on a sheet pan or in a bowl and freeze for 1-2 hours.
  • Once done, snack away on these mini pops of flavor or store ‘em in a freezer bag for up to 12 months.

Dehydrate ’em

We’re raisin the stakes! Why use store-bought raisins when you can make them yourself?
Here’s how:
  • Preheat your dehydrator or oven to 180° and wash & blanch your grapes (to blanch, place in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to a bowl of ice water).
  • Next, remove the stems, cut in half and set in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place in your dehydrator or oven for 18-24 hours, rotating halfway through.
  • Once dried, store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
