Instructions
 

  • Ready to get started? Making Grape Jello is as simple as it is fun. It’s an easy project, perfect for involving kids or simply enjoying the process of creating something delicious. Let’s dive into the steps!

Step 1: Prepare the Grapes

  • First, grab your grapes! Separate the grapes from their stems and rinse them well in a colander. This step ensures they're clean, which is essential. Nobody wants a gritty grape pop, right? Let those grapes drain fully as you set them aside.

Step 2: Set Up Your Jello Stations

  • Next, you’ll want to get your jello flavors ready. Pour each jello powder into small bowls or onto paper plates. You'll have six vibrant colors to work with, which will look stunning once complete. Now, in a separate small dish, mix 1/2 cup of coconut water with 1/2 cup of water. This will be your dipping solution.

Step 3: Dip the Grapes

  • Here comes the fun part! Take a toothpick and spear a grape. Dunk it into the coconut water mixture then gently roll it in your first jello flavor. Repeat this for as many grapes as you want for each flavor. It’s fun to blend colors, so don't hesitate to stick with one or mix them up a little!

Step 4: Arrange the Grapes

  • Line a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet with your decorated grapes. It’s helpful to keep them sorted by flavor to identify them later. Each vibrant pop will start to resemble colorful jewels!

Step 5: Freeze

  • Once your cookie sheet is filled, place the entire tray in the freezer. Let the grapes freeze for at least an hour or until fully solid. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re frozen to the touch and have a delightful jello coating.

Notes

- Use Ripe Grapes: Choose grapes that are plump and juicy for the best flavor.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add any other jello flavors you enjoy; the sky's the limit!
- Kid-Friendly Fun: Involve kids in the process by letting them decorate their own grapes.
- Vary the Dipping Liquid: Try using sprite or flavored sparkling water with your jello for a fizzy twist.
- Watch the Freezing Time: If left too long in the freezer, the grapes may become icy and lose their tasty texture.
