FRUIT SLUSH
This is an excellent mixed fruit with a little kick, which is frozen in individual cups. I served it as a frozen fruit salad but have had it served to me as a refreshing afternoon snack. It would also make an excellent light dessert. I received this recipe from Janet Carswell.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: The better the quality of your fruit, the better your slush will be. Look for fruits that are in season and at their peak of ripeness.
- Freeze your fruit before blending: This will help to create a smooth, icy texture. You can freeze your fruit whole, in chunks, or even in slices.
- Add some liquid: This could be water, juice, or even milk. The amount of liquid you add will depend on how thick you want your slush to be.
- Sweeten to taste: If your fruit is tart, you may want to add some sugar or honey to taste. You can also use flavored syrups or liqueurs to add sweetness and flavor.
- Blend until smooth: Use a blender or food processor to blend your ingredients until they are smooth and slushy. You may need to stop and stir the mixture a few times to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly blended.
- Serve immediately: Fruit slush is best served immediately, as it will start to melt as it sits. You can garnish your slush with whipped cream, fruit slices, or even a drizzle of honey.
Conclusion:
Fruit slush is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious fruit slush in no time.
