Can you make prosecco grapes without sugar?

Yes, you can. The recipe can be adjusted to suit your preferences and dietary needs. Here's a version of the recipe without sugar:

Ingredients:

• Prosecco
• 2 cups Grapes

Directions:

1. Wash them thoroughly and remove any stems or debris.

3. Pour Prosecco until they're just covered. The Prosecco will provide a touch of sweetness without the need for additional sugar.
4. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours. This will allow the grapes to soak in the Prosecco and develop a subtle, sweet flavor.

👩‍🍳 Chef Tip

• Choose Ripe and Firm Grapes: Select ripe and firm grapes for the recipe. Ripe grapes will have the best flavor, while firm ones will hold up better during the soaking and coating process.
• Use Quality Champagne: Opt for a good-quality champagne that you enjoy drinking. The flavor of the champagne will infuse into the grapes, so using a bottle you like will enhance the overall taste of the treat.
• Add a Flavor Twist: Consider experimenting with different flavors to complement the grapes and prosecco. For example, you could add a pinch of citrus zest (lemon or lime) to the sugar for a hint of tanginess, or a touch of vanilla extract for extra aroma.
• Ensure Proper Coating: To achieve a uniform and well-coated finish, gently toss a few grapes at a time in the sugar until they are completely covered. Avoid overcrowding the grapes in the sugar bowl to prevent clumping and ensure even coating.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Decorate and Serve Creatively: When serving the Sugared Champagne Grapes, consider using fancy cocktail picks or small decorative skewers to present them attractively. You can also place them in chilled glasses or on a bed of crushed ice to maintain their chilliness.
• Pair with Complementary Treats: can be a lovely addition to a dessert platter or a Sunday brunch. Consider pairing them with small cubes of cheese or other fruits to create an appealing and varied dessert or appetizer spread.

• ▢ Champagne

Instructions

 

• Make sure your grapes are washed well.
• Place your grapes in a medium bowl and pour the champagne over them until they’re just covered.
• Cover and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
• Place half of the sugar in a small bowl.
• Remove the grapes from the fridge and using a slotted spoon, scoop them out, let them drain and place them in the sugar.

Notes

You can use any grapes you like for this recipe, but I’ve always thought the green grapes were the best because they were the most tart. However, this is a personal preference. Do not use grapes with seeds.
