Looks awesome. I’ve made grapes several times and my biggest issue is my mixture hardens up too fast. And I reheated once and it was horrible. Burnt it up. Any help?

[@kkooks19]

Thank you! ♥️ When you return it back to the heat, you wanna make sure that your outing it on low to medium heat and not medium high. Also make sure you don’t leave it unattended while it’s reheating. I’ll try to make a video about reheating candy soon!

does it matter when we add the food coloring?

What kind of pot do you use

Don't have a candy thermometer ...how longs does it typically take to get to 300°?

Yes. 35-45 minutes but that depends on your pot and cooking range.

[@kkooks19]

Hey! We're your grapes room temperature when you dipped? Did you make sure there were no abrasions on the grapes before you dipped? Any opening in the grapes or splits can cause liquid to break through the candy.

[@kkooks19]

That means that your candy did not reach the hard crack stage. This has happened to me when my pot wasn't any good. Although the thermometer says 300°, the candy didn't evenly cook. Which with give you that uncomfortable bite. Next time, put some cold Walter in a bowl or cup and add some of your candy mixture in the water to see if it's actually at the hard crack stage.
