CHOOSE-A-FRUIT ICE

1/3 cup sugar (or use equal, to taste)
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups fresh orange sections (or one 22 oz can mandarin oranges or 1 1/2 cups raspberries or 1 1/2 cups strawberries)*
2 tbsp lemon juice
Mint sprig or fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

In a 2 cup measure stir the sugar into 1 cup warm water till dissolved.

In a blender container or food processor bowl combine desired fruit, sugar mixture, and lemon juice. Cover and blend or process till mixture is nearly smooth.

Pour into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Cover and freeze for 4 to 5 hours or till almost firm.

Transfer the frozen mixture to a chilled large mixer bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until fluffy.

Return fruit mixture to loaf pan. Cover and freeze for 6 hours or till firm.

TO SERVE:
Let the fruit ice stand about 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. To serve, use an ice-cream scoop and scrape along ice to form a scoop. If desired, garnish each serving with mint sprig or fresh berries.

*Use fresh or frozen unsweetened berries.
