Frosted Grapes

This unique fruit is perfect for the holiday season, but will surely spruce up your dinner table on any occasion and the process is real easy.
There are several ways to do this, some people use egg whites and some use gelatin, but the easiest way for me is just a mixture of equal parts water and corn syrup. Dip grapes in the water/corn syrup mixture then sprinkle them with granulated sugar. Set them on a wire rack and let them drip. Make sure to put some paper or plastic under the wire rack to catch the drips. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
