Cooking Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 cups green or red seedless grapes
½ cup flavored gelatin powder (Jell-O) or powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice (for sticking)

Instructions

1. Prep the Grapes

Wash the grapes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove them from the stems and place them in a bowl.
