How to Freeze Grapes

If you want to keep grapes fresh for longer, freezing is the way to go. Plus, you can eat the sweet, icy grapes straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack.

1. Wash and dry grapes.
2. Spread out the clean grapes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to the freezer.
3. Freeze the grapes on the baking sheet for about 2-3 hours, or until they’re frozen solid.
4. Move the frozen grapes to an airtight food storage container, like a plastic freezer bag, and put them back in the freezer. Frozen this way, grapes will last for up to a year.
