Notes
- Dry grapes completely before freezing
- Spread in single layer to prevent clumping
- Do not skip zest — provides most flavor
- Use fresh citrus for best taste
- Freeze on tray first, then transfer to bag
- Eat frozen — do not let thaw
- Make big batch — keeps for months
- Any grape color works
- Sugar is optional — grapes already sweet
- Can freeze other fruits same way
