We discovered Italian ice about a year ago, and it has become a family favorite, reports Jay Hansen of Winter Haven, Florida. The recipes I found, however, required quite a bit of sugar, so I developed my own version using fresh strawberries, fruit juice concentrate and a hint of lemon. Ingredients:
3/4 cup thawed unsweetened apple juice concentrate |
1 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved |
fresh mint, optional |
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the apple juice concentrate, lemon juice and strawberries; cover and process until blended. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square dish. Cover and freeze for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until partially set.
2. Spoon into a large bowl; beat on medium speed for 1-1/2 minutes. Return to dish; freeze for 2-3 hours or until firm.
3. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with mint if desired. Yield: 5 servings.
