Frozen Grapes ~ The Best Internet Tip

Okay, the lemon wedge didn’t tickle the fancy for some of you. I thought it was pretty but yes, it borders on fussy. But this…this is the best tip you will ever get on the internet. How’s that for a statement?
In the on-going battle to get healthy food into my kids, I am forced to constantly be creative. One day I watched the grapes I had bought slowly shrivel away from lack of consumption. In order to save the grapes from slow and wasteful destruction, I plucked them from the shriveling vine and threw them in the freezer. After a couple of days, I tried one and immediately thought that I was a genius. If I do say so myself. They literally taste like ice cream. The husband and the boy ate them all in about 5 minutes. It was truly a food epiphany.
I know I have very few original ideas and this is probably not one but it’s original in my house and I will from now on, keep frozen grapes in the freezer, especially in the summer months.
So to the twelve of you who read this blog, go freeze some grapes. It’s a great way to get fruit into your kids.
p.s. I’m having a yard sale tomorrow. I’ve been historically disorganized for this annual event but this year, I actually have two things labeled. And of course, I’m going to take pictures.
p.s.s And I almost forgot it’s Foodie Friday over at Designs by Gollum. I am not awake this morning. Please eat before you go over there. You may get hungry and regret binging.
Frozen grapes sound like a great idea…. after working in the yard..a handful would be a great treat! Happy Foodie Friday! Have a great weekend ~ Susan
We love frozen grapes at my house–green and red. You can put them in a fruity drink instead of or with ice cubes too!
The grape idea sounds fantastic and I agree that they would make cool ice cubes for a summer cocktail or any drink for that matter. I liked your lemon wedge too and am so glad to have found your site.

Oooh thanks so much for this tip! I love it, and I think sunnyboy’s going to love it too
What a great idea! I’m going to try that.
Thank you everyone for being so nice…I thought I’d get at least one sarcastic, “Gees, I’ve never thought of that before.”
I’m sure it’s because my brother’s not reading this.
These are very good – great in the summer.
Puna, we also do this with blackberries and bananas (peel and wrap in seran wrap). Your’re right, tastes just like ice cream and a great hot weather treat!
my daughter loves frozen grapes and even more delicious is frozen mango. it seriously taste like ice cream
Ummm… great idea, especially for the pound-challenged among us! I’m going to try this for sure, thanks!

Frozen Grapes was your brother- in laws favorite way to eat grapes.
he liked frozen bananas too. when he would take the banana out of the freeze he would drizzle it with choc. hard coat for ice cream. that is a yummy treat too.
Blueberries are great to eat frozen make sure they are dry when you freeze them. They will not stick to eack out then. It is like eating candy. They are great in yogurt in the morning or any time. So good for you.
They are also great in white wine over the Summer!
Now’s that’s a wonderful idea!
I’m sure they would be great in a cocktail…hmmmm.
If my own son eats it, yours will have no problem!
Hi Mary, I’m never going over to your place anymore…until I’m tempted again next time:)
Happy Foodie Friday to you too!
Ohhh…a banana would be great!
Wow, Mary, I never knew.
