Wash the grapes thoroughly and strain them.

Dry the grapes really well to ensure there is no water on them.

Skewer the grapes onto skewers, placing them randomly.

In a thin frying pan, add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water.

Melt the sugar and water together, stirring until it reaches a syrupy consistency.

Prepare a jug filled with ice and cold water.

Once the sugar mixture is thick, dip the grape skewer into the syrup, then immediately dip it into the ice water for about a minute.

Remove the grape skewer from the ice water and place it on a plate lined with greaseproof paper.

If making again, consider using only half a cup of water to speed up the process.

Repeat the dipping process for all the skewered grapes, ensuring each is well coated in the syrup before dipping into the ice bath.

If the sugar syrup starts to crystallize, add a splash of water while keeping the heat on low to prevent burning.
