[recipe] Fruit Slush Mix

[Guest guest]

These are cool and refreshing.

My kids love making fruit slushes when

they have friends over to swim.

I like making a less-sweet version by

substituting seltzer or club soda for the

ginger ale.

 

Fruit Slush Mix

 

4 cups water

4 cups sugar

1 (6oz) can frozen orange juice concentrate

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 (46oz) can pineapple juice

 

Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan.

Heat until sugar is dissolved. Add orange juice

concentrate, lemon juice, and pineapple juice.

Fill 6 or 7 ice cube trays. Freeze until firm.

Remove cubes from freezer trays and store

in freezer bags. Label and date contents.

Use within 6 months.

Makes about 100 small cubes.

 

Variations: You can add 5 or 6 mashed

bananas to mixture before freezing.

Also you can play around with different kinds

of juice... like cranberry etc.

 

To make a glass of fruit slush, fill a glass with

slush cubes and cover with ginger ale.

Let it stand for 15 minutes and stir.

Garnish with orange wedges or pineapple slice.
