In this video, Betty responds to a viewer request--demonstrating the making of frosted grapes. Betty also shows two other quick-fix Sweet Treat Finger Foods--something for everyone!!! Frosted Grapes: Ingredients: 1 egg white 1 cup sugar splash of lemon juice 1 cup sugar 40 medium-sized red seedless grapes, frozen in a zip-lock bag for at least 3 hours (and up to a week) Whisk the splash of lemon juice together with the egg white until frothy. Place all 40 frozen grapes into the frothy egg white. Strain any excess egg white through a colander of sieve. Then blot the grapes with paper toweling. You need the grapes to be sticky, but not dripping with egg white. This is very important! Now, pour 1 cup of sugar into a quart-sized zip-lock bag. Place the grapes, a few at a time, into the bag of sugar. Shake well, until grapes are coated. Remove the grapes to a serving plate or storage container. Continue to coat the grapes with sugar until all are coated. Let them stand until they are dry. This will not take long if you have not left a lot of egg white mixture on the grapes. Refrigerate until ready to use. You can use them as a decoration, but they are edible. The current view on raw egg white is that if it comes from an egg with no cracks and is not mixed with the yolk at all, it is safe to eat. This is an elegant look for a dinner party! Vanilla Wafers with Strawberry-Cream Cheese Topping: Ingredients: vanilla wafers (as many as you like) strawberry-flavored cream cheese Spread vanilla wafers with a dollop of the strawberry flavored cream cheese and arrange neatly on a nice serving plate. Yummy! Milk Chocolate Coated Banana Slices: Ingredients: 1 or 2 fresh bananas milk chocolate morsels (enough to coat the number of bananas chosen) Melt the milk chocolate morsels in the top of a double boiler (or a pan over hot water). Slice the bananas evenly. Dip the slices one by one into the melted milk chocolate, and when they are coated, place them on a plate or tray, covered with waxed paper. Let them sit until they harden. Place them in the freezer in a closed container. Serve them frozen or thawed. They're terrific!

May 27, 2009 - You're very welcome! The most important thing to remember is to use paper towels to get most of the egg white off the grape, still leaving them sticky, so that the sugar will stick. If you have too much egg white on the grapes, it takes them a long time to dry! Good luck! And thanks for viewing! I agree about the cluster--this is just another option! --Betty :)

Jun 1, 2009 - the look really good Betty :) i would just like to know what happens when the grapes defrost and what they taste like :) thank-you :)

Jun 2, 2009 - Thanks! When the grapes defrost, they taste like sugary grapes. There is no change in the grape flavor or consistency. The sugar continues to stick because of the little bit of egg white on the grapes. I keep mine in the refrigerator, and they are great to munch on--just like regular grapes, only sugar-coated! Thanks for your question! --Betty :)

May 27, 2009 - Thanks Betty for showing the grapes right away, I appreciate that! This seems easy enough. I thought they looked more impressive in a cluster and served on plate with a thick steak, but this video shows how to do it very well:) I will try this! Again Thanks:)
