    I will be trying this in the morning! I have been on a kick getting these from a lady about an hour from me, I'm trying to save on driving to her! The only thing she does different is she rolls the grapes in candy while they are still wet from the mixture. She does pop rocks, nerds, jolly ranchers, Lemonheads, and many other things! Maybe this is something you could use in the future for your customers🖤 They're yummy! I can't wait to try this

    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  4 года назад +2

      Hey Cierra! No, please don't boil your grapes. That will probably make them too soft.

      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.

      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.

They're too time consuming for the amount of time they last. I also have a candy apple cleaning & how to make them tutorial here on RUclips. Apples last longer than grapes because of the texture of both fruit. The sugar mixture sticks better to apples than grapes. You can make those well in advance versus grapes.

    • @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.
