Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 cups red grapes (sliced in half)
2 cups green grapes (sliced in half)

Steps:

  • Make the dressing. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the sugar, water, lemon zest and lemon juice. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. Cool, then refrigerate. The dressing needs to be completely cool before pouring it on the fruits.
