Italian Ice {recipe}

Mom has used this recipe several times in the past. We absolutely LOVE this! This is her recipe that she developed out of several different recipes online.

It's so yummy! It's super easy, and sweet! Perfect for summertime!

Italian Ice

Add raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and water to a small pot.

Cook on medium heat on stovetop. Let it cook for 7-10 minutes.

Stir after turning off the heat, making sure you stir the bottom (some sugar may be stuck, simply stir to let it dissolve).

Set up a wire strainer on top of a bowl or large measuring cup for the next step.

Ladel spoonfulls of mixture into the strainer over the bowl, until all the liquid has gone into the measuring cup/bowl. With a spoon scrape all of the liquid out of the mixture. Only raspberry seeds, lemon seeds, and raspberry pulp will be left in the strainer.

Ladel or pour into a freezer safe tuppleware. Freeze for at least 5 hours.

To serve simply scrape the ice with a spoon. {it's best to eat right out of the tuppelware...mom and I make several tuppelwares of this so we can eat straight out of them}
