fourcatmom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just curious if they would taste good. My dd has a soccer game at 1pm tomorrow and it's suppose to be 100 degrees here. I was thinking that freezing the grapes might be a good idea. Do they turn out okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes, and they're a tasty iced treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have. Kids said they were like candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Personally, I do not care for frozen grapes. My father, on the other hand, thought they were da bomb and that they tasted like grape candy. They freeze fine. My dd loves frozen grapes, too.

fourcatmom Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Okay, thanks. On a HOT day I am hoping it will cool the girls off but I am taking oranges too just in case. I didn't want to freeze a hole batch and have it not work, so I figured I would ask for advice.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 DElicious. I prefer the thin-skinned green. Also delicious is to freeze mandarin oranges or tangerines (seedless is better) and let thaw half-way and eat. OJ slushies. YUM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I portion them out into individual ziplocs and freeze them for soccer teams. The kids love them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Okay, thanks. On a HOT day I am hoping it will cool the girls off but I am taking oranges too just in case. I didn't want to freeze a hole batch and have it not work, so I figured I would ask for advice.:001_smile: I love them, but the rest of my family does not. I also like chewing on ice and I bite my ice cream. That may give you an indication of whether or not they'll work for your crew. If you do like them, try frozen honeydew chunks too. YUM!

BigMamaBird Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Frozen grapes are one of my favorite treats!! Don't give them to littles though, as they get a bit hard to gnaw. But a larger kid or adult will really enjoy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My dc love frozen grapes. Whenever there is a good sale, I stock up. Just a warning though...when they thaw they are mushy and gross. If you think they will stay frozen until after the game, then go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My dc love frozen grapes. Whenever there is a good sale, I stock up. Just a warning though...when they thaw they are mushy and gross. If you think they will stay frozen until after the game, then go for it! Seconding (or thirding?) this advice. Someone I know had them frozen and they were so amazing I froze a bunch of them. And I learned my lesson when they were disgusting thawed. It's really only good while frozen, which limits their usefulness as a traveling snack.

Abigail4476 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yes. I love frozen grapes. They're like little popsicles--or very large Dippin' Dots--and they seem to taste sweeter when they're frozen. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's 9:30 at night and now I feel compelled to go see if we happen to have any grapes left so I can freeze them. Sounds really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIS0320 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I love frozen grapes! Once they are slightly thawed and a bit frosty on the outside they are my perfect snack. Once you begin thawing them you are committed - they get brown and icky if you don't eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 A weight loss tip I read quite a while back was to freeze grapes and use them for those afternoon snacks when you're craving something sweet. I have done it and found it to be a wonderful idea. Just don't freeze too many at a time because long term, they don't do so well.

Orthodox6 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm confused. One is not to swallow them whole! . . . I imagine that this might be a hazard for younger children, though. Hence your warning is a good one on that basis. Thanks! I am quite positive that I would choke unto my very death. :angelsad2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a warning though...when they thaw they are mushy and gross. If you think they will stay frozen until after the game, then go for it! That's good to know. Thanks. I was going to do it for a half-time snack. I thought they would be easy to eat and still give them something cold to chew on.

fourcatmom Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yummy! My kids love them, their soccer team mates can't get enough of them. When you pack them for soccer games, do you just put on ice and they stay pretty frozen. Now I am worried about them thawing before the girls get to eat them.

GWOB Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I never thought about freezing grapes until I visited dh's dad and step-mom. They always have frozen green grapes in their freezer. When they offered them to my kids, those grapes dissappeared within minutes. They are like a frozen treat. Now I occasionally throw my green grapes into the freezer. My kids love them. I haven't tried it with red/purple grapes, but I imagine it would be similar. Try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My daughter's favorite treat is frozen grapes. She much much prefers the red ones than the green ones, they taste so much sweeter when frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mama Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Frozen grapes are a favorite here. My kids introduced them to the neighbor kids this summer when we moved into the dome of hell, AKA Oklahoma's triple digit summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
