Recipe: Fruit slushies/snow cones/frissies

Here are some ideas for you. In stead of the ice cubes in some of the recipes, of course, you can just make the "syrup" and pour it over your shaved ice. Yum! Hope this helps.

Fruit Frosties

1-1/2 cups cold water
1 10-ounce package frozen strawberries, thawed
3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 ripe banana, cut up
1 to 2 cups ice cubes
Whole fresh strawberries (optional)
1 orange, sliced and halved (optional)

In a blender container or food processor bowl combine water, thawed strawberries, orange juice concentrate, and banana pieces. Cover and
blend or process until smooth. While the blender or processor is running, add the ice cubes through the hole in the lid, blending or processing until mixture is smooth and slushy.

To serve, pour into glasses. If desired, garnish with whole strawberries and halved orange slices. Serve at once. Makes 6 (8-ounce) servings.
