Mini Grape Sorbets!

Here are the mini green grapes I got in my basket a couple of weeks ago!  I froze these little gems and now we have mini sorbets that burst in your mouth! A delicious healthy treat for the kiddos! My daughter even asked me to make them for her Birthday so you KNOW they must be good! I cannot believe I have not done this sooner!! TRY IT!! They are SO DELICIOUS!

Frozen Grapes

On Sunday, I saw an idea for frozen grapes posted on the Bountiful Basket Facebook page (see sidebar for link.) A member named Holly had this to say about freezing grapes, "If you haven't tried freezing grapes, you're missing out... I think that might be my favorite way to eat grapes now. Just pop off the stem and put in a freezer ziplock bag. Lie it out 'flat' in the freezer and then when they've been in 8 or so hours lift the bag up and jiggle them around good so they are all individual. You can eat them then and they are slushy, or you can leave them in and they get harder. They are delish. Like little bitesize popsicles."

I just might have to try this!

Frozen Berries are Better Than Ice Cream

Ok, so I will concede that I still like ice cream more, but my kiddos seem to like the concept of a frozen treat more than the amount of sugar in the treat. When we had a play date with some friends they wanted to share a snack with my kiddos. I was surprised when the children didn't want cookies, goldfish, or fruit snacks, they wanted frozen berries. I was not quite sure what my children would think of that and I was pleasantly surprised to find they loved the berries! Now, I can add another healthy, low sugar snack idea to my list of kid snacks.

We often have berries in our Bountiful Baskets. To freeze them yourself

• Lay berries out individually on a cookie sheet to avoid clumps of berries being frozen together.
• Place in cookie sheet in freezer and leave until berries are frozen solid. About 4 to 6 hours.
• When berries are completely frozen, remove cookie sheet from freezer and place frozen berries in a ziploc bag for safe storage to use later.
• Return bag of berries to freezer.
