Rhubarb Slush
Ingredients
8 cups chopped rhubarb
6 cups water
1 can frozen pink lemonade concentrate or your choice of juice
1/2 cup lemon juice (or 2 tbsp Epicure's Lemon Chiffon Dip Mix)
1/2 cup strawberry jello powder
About 1/2 cup sugar, to taste (taste the drink after adding the jello and before adding any sugar)
Additional can of frozen concentrate of your choice such as berry, orange-pineapple, optional
To Make
Bring rhubarb and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rhubarb is soft and tender.
Place colander over large bowl.
Pour rhubarb and juice into colander.
Allow 30 minutes to drain.
Discard rhubarb.
Add the rest of the ingredients. (If the juice is cold you might want to reheat it to dissolve the jello powder.
Pour into ice cream pail, freeze and stir every hour until slushy (or just every once in a while if you are too busy).
Let it freeze completely and enjoy a taste of summer in the middle of the winter.
To Serve
Scoop into punch bowl or pitcher until half full and fill the rest with regular or diet lemon-lime soda, or soda water OR
fill glass with half slush and half ginger ale.
I scrape the frozen slush with a large spoon or ice cream scoop without thawing all of it if I'm only making one or two drinks.
Edie's Tips:
-This is one of my many rhubarb slush recipes. It's a drink I never make quite the same from year to year so I'm sharing a fairly basic recipe.
-If you like your drink sweeter, you can substitute half the rhubarb for strawberries- tastes awesome as well.
-Some people cook 8 cups of rhubarb with 3 cups of water and then blend it all together to get more fibre instead of straining and discarding the rhubarb.
-You have to try a few different ways and flavours to see which one you prefer. I find the rhubarb and the strawberry jello one to be the easiest and the brightest looking.
-This slush is often frozen with Vodka or Bacardi so you have to let it thaw and stir a bit if you don't add any alcohol.
-You can also process rhubarb punch in jars (without the soda of course) and serve as a cold drink or add to other juice.
