Very light and easy summer-time treat. Great way to use those luscious ripe summer-gems, without heating up the whole kitchen at the same time! Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar |
2/3 cup water |
5 cups strawberries, hulled & sliced |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar is dissolved.
2. Dump berries into blender and whip 15 seconds, add the sugar-water; blend some more.
3. Then add the lemon juice and blend again.
4. Pour into two 13x9 cake pans (or just one, but it will take longer to freeze).
5. Freeze pans for 4-6 hours (NOT SOLID).
6. SERVING OPTION #1: just before serving, whip mixture in blender, spoon into bowls and serve.
7. SERVING OPTION #2: scrape spoons-ful into chilled tumbler, half-full, then add 7-Up or Sprite for an icy drink.
8. VARIATION: Replace strawberries with raspberries, mango, pineapple (adjust the sugar accordingly).
9. ALCOHOLIC KICK: Add a shot of rum, brandy or vodka-uuummm!
