Scripture to Live By:
….and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Beverage Post:
I made this slushy Strawberry Punch for my youngest daughter’s wedding and it was a big hit with all the guest both young and old. I make it on a regular bases for my family on special occasions. We all enjoy slushy, especially in hot weather. It is so refreshing and thirst quenching. All of my grandchildren look forward to the times when I make it. I try to have some on hand when they come for a visit. If you like slushy perhaps you would like this recipe. It is so nice to have it on hand when company comes or to enjoy alone on these hot summer days..
Here is what you will need to make it:
13 cups of boiling water
4 packs of Strawberry Jello
4 cups of sugar
1 12 ounce can of frozen lemonade
2 large cans of pineapple juice
Bring water to a boil and add the Strawberry Jello, sugar and blend until dissolved.
Then add the 2 cans of pineapple juice and 1 can of frozen lemonade. Mix well. Let cool and then put in the freezer and let it freeze. When it starts freezing, stir it several time until it is completely frozen. By stirring it you are keeping it from freezing as a block but making it like slushy. It will take approximately thirty six hours for it to freeze thoroughly.
When the mixture has frozen to slushy consistency. You can put a cup or so in your favorite glass and eat it with a spoon as seen below.
Or you can add ginger ale to the slushy and make a glass of punch.
If you are serving a group of people, you can serve it in a punch bowl by measuring out four cups of slushy and adding a 2 liter bottle of ginger ale or 7 up. Your guest will be delighted with it.
It is o refreshing on these hot summer days or anytime.
Why not give it a try?
