You don't have to feel guilty about giving these to the kids they're made with real fruit syrup and are bursting with sweet berry flavor. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups raspberries (6 ounces) |
3 cups blueberries (10 ounces) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
8 cups lightly packed shaved ice (made with an ice shaver, preferably manual) |
Directions:
1. Coarsely mash 1 1/2 cups raspberries and 2 cups blueberries with sugar and water in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan using a potato masher. Bring to a boil, stirring, then boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until almost smooth, about 1 minute (use caution when blending hot liquids). Pour berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on and then discarding solids. Cool syrup, uncovered, then chill, its surface loosely covered with plastic wrap, until cold, about 1 hour.
2. For each serving, spoon 3 tablespoons syrup over 1 cup lightly packed shaved ice and top with 1/4 cup of remaining mixed berries. Serve immediately.
3. Cooks' note: Syrup can be chilled in an airtight container up to 1 week.
