    2 cups of sugar
    1/2 cup of water
    1/2 cup of light corn syrup
    You'll need: cleaned grapes, toothpicks, a timer, a silicone mat or parchment paper, a candy thermometer, a heat resistant spatula, and food coloring ((white (base) & another color of choice).

      I don't store these. I make them an hour or so before pickup because they don't last as long as a candy apple, for example.

  • @ac-memphisshenanigans...1855

    Do you wash the grapes the same as apples with lemon water?
    Could you possibly sprinkle the jolly rancher mixture after you dip while still drying so it might stick better? Or have an extra set of hands doing that part?

    • @meshacalhoun
      @meshacalhoun  Před 3 lety +2

      Hey Cierra! No, please don't boil your grapes. That will probably make them too soft.
      Also, yes you can do that. Just have a bowl with the jolly rancher mixture next to you when you dip them.

    • @meshacalhoun

      Hey Kristina! To me, putting them in the fridge breaks them down even faster. Mainly because of the moisture. Candy grapes aren't meant to last long anyways. I give it a max 2hrs before a sign of breakdown begins.

    How does this work with other fruits? Do peaches/strawberries/pineapples break down as fast as grapes?

    • @meshacalhoun
      @meshacalhoun  Před 2 lety +1

      You can dip them but the break down process with the fruit you mentioned is faster than the grapes. The key to slowing down the breakdown is patting those fruit dry. They will still breakdown eventually because they're naturally perspiring fruit. The moisture is what causes the breakdown.

    What causes your candy on your dipped grapes to melt off so fast?

      The texture of the grapes causes the candy to melt fast. Plus your room temp also plays a part as well.

      It could be your thermometer is off. If so, let your thermometer go to 305 degrees just to be sure it at least reaches 300 degrees. If that's not it, try getting a new thermometer. Your mixture should have a hard crack.

      Unfortunately, they will melt/run. Which is why I dip mine very close to pickup times. However, I do state that grapes usually last for an hour before the first sign of breakdown in the candy. This covers me, & gives the customer an expectation of how long they have to eat them before the breakdown begins.
