I did not create this frozen fruit recipe. It was passed to me from a Mom who does not cook, much or mostly not at all. It's totally refreshing and absolutely perfect for an outdoor event!
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 cup cold water
- Juice of 3 large lemons (1/2 cup)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 large can of crushed pineapple
- 3 bananas, sliced
In a separate bowl, dissolve sugar with warm water. Assemble the remaining ingredients in 13x9x2 casserole dish and freeze. Set out 1/2 hour before serving.
Variations:Dissolve the sugar in warm water in a pitcher, then add all other juices. Fill paper cups with fruit first then pour juice mixture over fruit. Honestly, I have no idea how many fruit cups this will make. It depends on the size of the cups and how much fruit you use to fill them.
Okay, this recipe was a BIG HIT! I should have taken recipe cards with me to the party. I’ll know better next time.
Also, next time I make this, I want to try grape juice and frozen mixed berries instead of orange juice, pineapple, and grapes.
