Fresh Limeade Slush

A refreshing, tart, sweet citrus 

treat to please all ages.

Perfect to serve at a picnic, party

or a backyard BBQ.

For an "island kick" substitute

regular milk for coconut milk,

top of with shredded coconut.

Fresh Limeade Slush

12 oz. Frozen Limeade concentrate

4 C. Milk

1 (14oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 tsp. Vanilla

Ice cubes

*This will make a LARGE batch.

So in order to "fit" into a regular sized

blender you will half all the ingredients.

Then repeat directions.

Place milk, vanilla and limeade concentrate

into the blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour in sweetened condensed milk,

pulse to mix. Add in Ice cubes until you

reach the desired consistency. 

I like it a bit thicker.

Now my hubby is not a huge fan of

tart flavors.....for him I add in

a little extra sugar to sweeten.

Pucker up Butter cup!

Flavored Homemade Simple Syrup

I love making "homemade" version's

of items most people buy.

Syrup is one of the easiest

things to make, with little

ingredients and fabulous results!

Today I am sharing a "Simple Syrup"..

this type of syrup is used to 

make those old fashion

soda shop drinks.

You can also add this to your lemonade

 for added bonus flavor.

Flavored Simple Syrup

2 C. Berries~ frozen or fresh

1 C. Water

1 1/2 C. Sugar

Place water and sugar in a sauce 

pan over med heat. Stir and heat until

all the sugar is dissolved.

 Add in the berries.

(I love using blueberries, raspberries,

blackberries and cranberries)

Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to a simmer

and cook for another 8 minutes.

Pour into a fine mesh strainer

to press the juices through,

dis guard the seed's/pulp.

Let cool place in a container

and store in fridge.

Just add to your favorite

refreshing beverage.

*Try it on Ice Cream

Hot Wassail

Oh the weather outside is frightful,

but the fire is so delightful,

 In case  you've no place to go...

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow!

As you can see....I love to go caroling.

After spending a hour or so outside in the cold

singing having a good time, sipping on a cup of

Hot Wassail hits the spot.

For those of you who do not know what

Wassail is...it is a mixture of apple cider, pineapple

perfect winters day!
This is a perfect drink to serve on Christmas Eve.
