Watermelon Lemonade

sahil — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:14:25 +0000

8 cups seeded watermelon cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup hulled and quartered fresh strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
2 cups water (approximately)
Thin watermelon wedges with the rind (optional)

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the watermelon, strawberries, and sugar until blended and smooth.

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a 2-quart container, pushing down on the solids to get all the juice. Add the lemon juice and enough of the water to make 1 1/2 quarts.

Chill until very cold. Serve over ice with a wedge of watermelon, if desired.

Hand In The Punch

sahil — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:43:06 +0000

1 Playtex Glove
Water to fill the glove
Food coloring
1 Stout rubber band
1 Bowl of punch

Turn the Playtex glove inside out so the flannel is on the outside. Choose a food color that contrasts with the color of the punch. Color sufficient water to fill the latex glove then seal the glove with the rubber band. Put the water-filled glove in the deep freeze (you can use the refrigerator freezer, but the deep-freeze will be colder) and allow to freeze solid (overnight, at least). When the punch is ready for serving, remove the glove from the freezer. Run hot water over it – not too long, just enough to unstick the glove from the ice. Peel the glove off the “hand” and place the hand in the punch where it will float and keep the punch cool.
