Be creative! Juice your favorite fruits. Mix fruit juices together either by combining
fruits in the food basket or by juicing them separately, then mixing. Make your own
fruit punches. Try combining your juices with carbonated beverages or mixers.
Canned pineapple juice is good when added to nearly any juice. Mixing bland and
tart fruits enhances the flavor of the bland juices and mellows the flavor of the tart
ones. Sweeten to suit your own taste!
Making your own juice is fun and easy. Here are a few suggestions to get you
started, but after a few batches you’ll want to experiment on your own!
RHUBARB SLUSH
3 cups Sugar
6 cups Water
4 cups Rhubarb juice
1 can (46 oz.) Pineapple juice
1 can (46 oz.) Orange juice
Carbonated lemon-lime drink, chilled
Boil sugar and water for five minutes. Add rhubarb, pineapple and orange juice.
Pour into a freezer container and freeze. When you’re ready to serve, mash with a
fork. Scoop into glasses full and add the carbonated lemon-lime drink.
Note: Rhubarb juice makes a delicious jelly and is great on pancakes or vanilla ice
cream.
