My notes

Tips

Concord grape juice gives the classic grape candy flavor. In Europe and Norway, use 100% red grape juice: the sorbet is milder and tastes of fresh grapes rather than candy. Skip grape drinks and nectars; they are watered down.
Want it tangier, like sour grape candy? Add another tablespoon of lemon juice.
Freeze washed seedless grapes on a tray for 2 hours for the top. For small children, cut them in half lengthwise first, as whole grapes are a choking hazard.

Why it works

Grape juice is already sweet, so a little sugar brings the mix to about 19%, enough to keep the tubpint soft. Juice has no pulp, so the sorbet spins smooth and clean.
