Ginger Snap Grapes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
the opening image for how to make gingersnap grapes

If you are looking for a more unique frozen grape treat, may I PLEASE introduce you to Gingersnap Grapes. They are a quick and easy way to take your grapes and turn them into a really delicious, very fall-coded snack. You can serve them at parties or just keep them in your freezer for anytime. Believe me, there is no better feeling than craving a sweet treat and opening up my freezer to realize I have some Gingersnap Grapes laying around.

So what are ginger snap grapes?

Ginger Snap Grapes are just another variation of frozen grapes, but this time they are coated in ginger sugar, which you might be familiar with from my viral blueberry muffin recipe that uses a lemon ginger sugar.

A ginger sugar is simple: you just take fresh ginger and turbinado sugar and scrunch the ingredients together until they resemble wet sand. From there, the sugar and ginger and nearly one and the same. It tastes like ginger candy, but it takes less than 30 seconds to make. Plus, you can apply it to anything from baking to fruit. Does this mean I see a ginger-sugar cooking in our future?

Here are a few favorites from the blog!

Breaded Beans
These are easy, plant-based, crispy beans that will no doubt see your kitchen rotation. Just rinse, toss with seasoning and flour, and bake!

Apple Tahini Toast
This upside-down apple tahini toast is like apple pie in a breakfast. It's sweet, crunchy, and subtly creamy from the tahini. The apple cooks perfectly in the oven making this a gorgeous, glossy (but still low-effort!) toast.

Raw Glazed Donut Holes
These "donut holes" are vegan, gluten free, protein-packed and filled with delicious, vanilla flavor. They are my favorite thing to grab when I need something sweet, and the coffee glaze keeps them fun and interesting. They take minutes to make and they keep for forever, so I always have them on hand as a snacking staple!

Prep Time:5 minutes mins

Cuisine: American
Keyword: frozen grapes, ginger, grapes
Servings: 4 servings

Equipment

  • 1 large ziploc bag

Ingredients

  • 3 cups red grapes
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
  • 3 teaspoons freshly grated ginger about a 1-inch knob of ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground clove

Instructions

  • Wash your grapes and lightly shake them dry, leaving a bit of excess moisture on them. Add them to a large ziploc bag.
  • In a small bowl, add the turbinado sugar, grated ginger, cinnamon, and clove. Use your fingers to mash this together until the ginger has fully mixed with the sugar, giving it the consistency of wet sand.
  • Pour the sugar into the bag with the grapes. Seal the bag, press out any excess air, and give it a few gentle flips and shakes so the grapes get coated in the sugar.
  • Transfer the bag to a surface where it can lay flat so no grapes are overlapping, then freeze for 5 hours up to overnight. Enjoy whenever!

    These are soooo yummy and addictive! They’re a little cold for my sensitive teeth straight out of the freezer. I may try em just in the fridge next time and see how I do.

    Super simple and unique recipe! Grapes aren’t typically a go-to snack for me, but the slightly addictive kick from the fresh ginger has me craving them for dessert. Pro-tip: eat them with chopsticks to avoid getting your fingers coated in spiced ginger sugar, unless that’s your thing !

The best chickpeas I’ve ever made ✨ These are The best chickpeas I’ve ever made ✨

These are a recipe of just herbs, soffritto, a few palms of salt and a lot of olive oil, but broth comes out richer than any brothy bean I’ve ever made, and I still can’t figure out the secret of it other than time (maybe it’s the parm rind I added WHO KNOWS)

This recipe is adapted from Gianinna’s instructions at @tenutacavasecca and I’ll have my written version on my site later tonight!

Happy 1st Birthday “Justine Cooks” 🥹😭 T Happy 1st Birthday “Justine Cooks” 🥹😭

The cookbook that taught me how to write a da*m good recipe. The book that taught me hard things are worth it. The book that taught me food is made of so much more than a recipe, it’s made of the people who cook it. 

It’s been a joy to watch you all use, transform, and love this book over the past year. It has given me a sense of purpose that I’ve never had before, and know how much I mean it when I say I’m eternally grateful. 

Thank you to @food52 and @foodbaby.bklyn for hosting me a banger of a birthday party. Thank you to @vitalfarms for supporting the fun (and being the best). Thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who cooks from my book. It means more to me than you know.

Can’t wait to see what this book is like when she’s a two year old, I’ve heard the toddler years are horrible. 

Photo cred! @kelseycherry
Small (big??) update, we’re doing it again!

I’m hosting a trip next year with @viarosaitaly, this time to Puglia, and the link for the itinerary and the booking is in my bio.

This past week I had the pleasure (honestly, joy) of traveling with 12 women to Ortigia, Sicily. We covered a lot of ground, but it was the connection and inspiration I felt while surrounded with such like-minded women that was the best part. (If you are reading this girls, ily, and thank you for letting me talk so much about White Lotus). 

Thank you @eminchilli and @viarosaitaly for making our seven nights incredible. Can’t wait for next year ✨
Honeynut Cookies with Pistachio Chocolate and Cran Honeynut Cookies with Pistachio Chocolate and Cranberry Swirl! Because it’s November and if it doesn’t taste like the holidays I simply don’t want it.

Hot Honey Carrot Tart with Rosemary Brown Butter R Hot Honey Carrot Tart with Rosemary Brown Butter Ricotta 😍 It sounds like a lot - but really you only need to brown the butter and the rest of the assembly is easy because of @delmonte’s Hot Honey Carrots #sponsored

The carrots are delicious but they also make this recipe so convenient. You need two cans to cover the tart, and their flavor is perfectly savory-sweet to hold up to the brown butter ricotta. If you need a last minute holiday dish or something to bring to a Friendsgiving, I love this recipe for it 💚

Full recipe is on their site!
