The Frozen Black Grapes thread (1 Viewer)

[Willie Neslon]

If you're like me, you like snacks.  We're not getting any younger so the healthier snack the better. May I present the most delicious and one of the most healthy of snacks out there: the frozen black grape.  Here's all you have to do:

1. Buy black grapes.  Why black grapes? They're the sweetest and work best for the freezer.

2. Take them off the stem.

3. Wash them

4. Put them in freezer bags and stick them in the freezer for at least a day. You have to wait until their consistency changes for the full deliciousness.

5. Enjoy.

I'm addicted to these things now. I've never been a big grape lover but when you freeze them it's like having a sweet little dessert in each bite. Black grapes were on sale at my local this weekend for 88 cents a pound. I bought 35 pounds. Not a typo. The lady asked if I was making wine.

Just to save time and energy, "hey Willie, Frozen Black Grapes is a good band name". OK, got it.

When he handed the teller $40, he said, "No change. I'll wait for more grapes."

Make sure you give them a day to change consistency. Enjoy.

Grapes washed, de-stemmed and sitting in freezer.  Looking forward to enjoying them during game 7.

What kind of bags did you use? I find that if you throw a few handfuls in sandwich size bags they freeze more evenly. You don't end up eating hundreds of them either.

Member Chewbacca? Ohhh, and Boba Fett? 

 

[Osaurus]

Liked Happy Mondays better

 

[=Smackdown=]

A crying woman runs into a police station with all her clothes ripped off and her hair everywhere, and says "Officer, I've just been graped!"

The policeman says "Don't you mean raped, miss?"

The woman says, "No I mean graped, there were a bunch of them"

 

[Shutout]

I like my women like I like my grapes...

cold with a seed inside them?

 

[Shutout]

Serious question, Willie. Are you buying seedless grapes and then you just pop them whole or are you adding something to them for your desserts?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Serious question, Willie. Are you buying seedless grapes and then you just pop them whole or are you adding something to them for your desserts?

Just the grape. Adding nothing. Seedless black grapes. I've tried it with red and it doesn't taste as good.

I threw about a pound into a gallon freezer bag.  To late to go back now.

Should be fine. Grapes should be hard to the touch. If they feel squishy then need to freeze more.

 

[SWC]

What happened to your all avocado diet?

yeah right have you ever tried to freeze a avoncado not happening brohan take to the bank

 

[Poke_4_Life]

So these frozen black grapes.  Are they as hard as rocks or can they be chomped in half?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Not hard as rocks (though if you banged the bag on the counter they'd sound pretty solid). Chewy and juicy. A unique consistency, slushy almost. Trying to think of a comparison and I can't come up with one.

 

[Otis]

Can you eat only black grapes, like as a full time diet thing?  Also is "black grapes" just another way of referring to regular purple grapes?  Or is this an Oklahoma variety?

"Silver Grapes" also makes a much better band name than "GrayBalls."

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Is there a reason for the recent use 'Oklahoma variety' and 'Oklahoma pizza'?  Being that I live in the crappy state of Oklahoma, I'd like to understand this phenomenon so I can play along, if I'm allowed...  

@Otis   At Sam's and Costco they have large containers with 'black grapes', that's the name on the label.  Not sure where Willie has been purchasing his tho.

They're called black grapes but they're actually dark purple. Just ate a ton of them. I don't think you can eat just grapes and nothing else. Good for the BMs though.

It's not recent. We have our own style of some foods. I had some Oklahoma chicken noodle soup last night.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Did anyone have any frozen grapes tonight? Mine were perfect. Sweet, juicy-slushy.

 

[lardonastick]

This thread creeps me out.

Oh I get it...  like Oklahoma Pizza.

Have you tried?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Have you tried?

I've eaten a lot in one day but never exclusively.  Not enough protein.

 

[E-Z Glider]

I just went down to the fridge after reading this thread and got a big bowl of grapes all ready for the freezer. Then I popped one in my mouth. It was crisp, juicy, sweet, delicious. Then I remembered that I dont really like chewing on ice or frozen objects, so I just ate the whole bowl in one sitting. Man, they were good. Thanks for starting this thread.
