Hi My name is Latanya Love the candy Grapes.Thank you so much for showing us.❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️
Thank You for the heart
Hi I have a question did you make the two mixes at the same time of the green first and yellow after?? Thanks by the way they look great
Hello Ms Ro!!! First of all, you are amazing in what you do.!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. How long after you dip, will the grapes last?
Even tho she said "strawberries", I think she meant to say the grapes will last 1 week.
These are beautiful. Mine always seem to sweat any recommendations for this wound be greatly appreciate
Thank you my recommendation would be to package them as soon as you get done dipping your grapes and then placing them in the refrigerator.
How long for drying process ? which white coloring are you using ? Do you use coloring soon as you take out of pot?
Hi Ms. Ro. Do you have a method on how to make candied grapes with Karo syrup?
Hi, how do you store the grapes , mines always break down the next day
Do the candy rosk to break down once you pullout the stick?
How soon should I make these for a party. Day before or day of?
This looks yummy! How long will they last in your fridge? Are they safe to store out of the fridge in a box?
They won’t last long in the fridge. You need to freeze them after you make them check out my other candy, grape videos.
I use the same process as you but my strawberries, you have to eat them right away,,, do you freeze your strawberries
Hello! I used your video as a guide and it's by far the best video I've seen. You are so thorough and explain everything so well. I made double this recipe here and it hardened way to quickly. Half my sugar mixture went to waste and once on the grapes, when I would go to dip in toppings, barely any of the topping stuck to the coating. I only used 3 small drop of coloring. Should I add the food coloring during the cooking process instead or before it starts to cook?
There is a way to stretch your mixture and reheat when it hardens. You have to move FAST. Especially when using a candy coating
When dipping and hot candy mixture you have to move quickly but carefully and with the Grapes if you doing a full recipe you shouldn’t have to double to make sure because normally you’ll have enough mixture to dip them depending on the amount of grapes you are trying to dip. If you’re taking your time Dipping and trying to add the toppings that needs to be done as soon as you take it out your mixture and then apply the toppings because the candy mixture hardens quickly after dipping
Is there a rough estimate as to how many grapes that can be made with the mixture that you presented
Hello how long will your grapes and strawberries last without the candy coming apart
How long do they last before sugar starts to break down?
Do your grapes every crack or the candy melt off afterwards
I love watching your content. I am a fairly new sub. I have a couple questions. I have tried doing the crack grapes a few times and they turn out beautifully delicious each time but they are not lasting long at all. As soon as I let them sit or put them in the fridge the Al candy melts dissolves or breaks down. How can I get my grapes to last more than a few hours? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance 😊
I will my advice is to clean them with the vegetable wash that I mention or distilled vinegar to strip the wax off and to make sure your grape is completely covered and then you can put them in the refrigerator but they definitely don’t last long At all that’s why I mention these are made to order
And welcome to my channel❤️
What recipe did you use? I do the 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup Karo and 1/2 cup water….they’re are perfect until refrigerated then they melt and or break down quickly
Do they need to go in the freezer after ?
Everything Looks Awsome Q&A You said the grapes can be good for 1 week Well storging them Do the stay in Refrigerator ??? Thank's for sharing 👍
Yes placing them in the fridge in a container, that’s how I store them.
@@YourSweetConnection Thank's 👍
Freezer
Can you tell me why the candy keeps separating away from the group? I cook it until 300° dip it and after a few minutes it starts to seep off of the grape.
How do you store them , in freeze or fridge . And how long you let them set before you store them .
I also wonder about this issue!!
Is this a sample shown for the internet?
Can you use oil based coloring to color the mixture? Or does it have to be gel
It Has to be a gel base color, oil base is used for chocolate
how many drops of flavoring should i do ? i don’t wanna put too much flavoring please help lol
Can you tell me how to price these for sale?
What was the flavor you used? And suggested flavors ?
I tried doing them but mine did not get hard I put them in the refrigerator too and still didn’t get hard what did I do wrong ?
Do you mind sharing where you purchased you countertop burner.
Yes sure. Link is in my description
@@YourSweetConnection thank you
@@kasaundrawilson6795 you're welcome
Have you experienced any problems with the burner? Some reviews were not favorable
Where did you get the electric stovetop?
I purchased it from Amazon, You can find the link listed in the description box
Do you have tips to avoid the candy “melting”? I always take my mixture off at the 300 hard crack stage, allow the bubbles to cool down before dipping, place them on parchment paper and 10 mins later they are cracking and melting. I do not refrigerate until they have sat out for at least 30 mins. Please help
The only tips I can give you is follow the cleaning process that I mentioned in the video because that will help remove the wax to give it a longer shelf life and store them in a container and then placed them in the refrigerator son after you get done dipping because they do not last long. That’s why I mention that they are made to order Treat. And I don’t have to sit out for 30 minutes so like song is you done with your grace and your package down you can put them right in the refrigerator. Hope that helps.
Put them in the freezer after dipping . In the fridge they’ll break down super fast
I really touched the darn mixture with my figure 😩 my goodness .. it taste great though!
💞💞💗💗💕🌸💓💓💞💞
How much flavoring do you recommend?
If you’re using the LorAnn oils, then it only takes a few drops because they are strong flavor
Can you freeze the grapes before dipping?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing the grapes before
What do you do if your mixture is too thick?
I start over and normally I don’t let it get that way because if it happens it’s really no use for the mixture so that’s why it’s important to not add so much food coloring to your mixture when creating hard candy
Is there a measurement of how much of the flavoring to use?
If you make enough for a recipe you can put one full dram to a recipe
How do u sell them? How many (3/$5)?
I sell mines for $8.99 for 10 grapes
@@YourSweetConnection thank you
How do I get my color to be thick ? I use the liquid food coloring and I've used the gel food coloring but every time no matter what color it is you can see through it and see the grape through the coating. What am I doing wrong?! Please help 😭
Add Liquid gel white so you’re Grapes won’t look transparent that’s the reason why they look see-through and then it depends on the Brand a Foods Hwy Coloring and youryour and Icing
@@YourSweetConnection so which brands are best to use ? I've tried the white gel coloring and that doesn't do anything for it. They still come out transparent.
How do we store them?
Once you package them you can store them in the refrigerator and I package them in an airtight container or you can store them in the package that I shared in this video
@@YourSweetConnection Would they start to sweat after taking them out of the frig? Thanks in advance!! ((Hugs)) from Texas!! xx : )
Your channel is making weight loss very difficult, because I want to eat all the sweets, lol. Is the candy coat crunchy or chewy, I wonder.
Crunchy
@@YourSweetConnection Thank you. I hope you don't mind, this is my weirdo way of driving up engagement to feed the al go rhythm. (I spelled that wrong on purpose, lol). I was reminded of the Japanese candy with is fruit under a hard sugar candy shell, and it's supposed to be crunchy, but I couldn't tell if the addition of the colorants may have made it chewy... Which is stupid because I watch Lofty Pursuits all the time, I should know better, lol.
Are those grapes seeded?? They are hughe like seeded grapes
No they’re seedless grapes
Do the grapes have to be frozen before you dip
. No. I perfect not to freeze mine it can sometimes shorten the shelf life.
@@YourSweetConnection ok
My candy came out very chewy. What did I do wrong?
Did you cook it up to the temperature is supposed to and also what brand of products are you using?
How many grapes you get to this reci
With this recipe you can get up to 48 to 50 regular grapes, now these grapes were much larger than a regular standard size grape and I was only able to do 32 with this recipe
@@YourSweetConnection thanks
Exactly how do you clean them? Just spray and rinse or?
What are the ingredients you need to actually make the stuff you dip the grapes in.... you didn't say atleast I didn't hear anything 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hello lady, I love your work also. I have a smell 🤎 business & make gourmet popcorn 🍿 along with all things chocolate dipped. I've made candy Grapes once but I wanted to start selling them at the different events I'm at. My question is how should I store them overnight for me to sell the next day?
Hello. To be honest which I’m always, it takes a lot for them to sell Ativan especially when they are a delicate treat and there are some factors that plays a part in the Shelflife of this dessert know if you’re doing it outside of it you will have to literally have a freezer or a cooler to keep them on ice so they don’t break down quickly when they’re in a hot climate they will break down. If you’re inside for the events it’s still the same they must be in a cooler and kept on ice. You can use dry ice but they should be kept in the freezer to be served or if you’re going to sell them at an event. Remember they are very delicate and a sensitive Treat because the candy breaks down quickly
@@YourSweetConnection thank you so much🙏🏽. I guess I'm going to have to rethink selling at the events then😞
