Flavored Shaved Ice

Do you remember flavored ices from when you were a kid?
You know what I am talking about, right?  

Today with the help of Tupperware, we can make our own shaved ice with the Grate Master Ice Shaver Cone and then make whatever fruit flavoring you want.  

Here is a quick way to make some Strawberry (red) and Blueberry (blue) flavorings to get you started, but remember other fruits will work as well.  If you try something different, give us a shout and let us know what else works as well.

Yield: 6
Serving Size: ¼ cup

Ingredients

• 5 oz. frozen fruit strawberries, thawed
• 5 oz. frozen blueberries, thawed
• 2 cups water, divided
• 2 cups sugar, divided
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

Instructions

1. In the 2-cup Micro Pitcher, stir together strawberries, 1 cup water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/8 tsp. of salt. Microwave on high power 2½ minutes. 
2. Remove from microwave and transfer to a bowl. Let stand 5 minutes or until fruit is soft. 
3. Repeat with blueberries and remaining water, sugar and salt.
4. Transfer strawberry mixture to the Power Chef® System with blade attachment. 
5. Place cover on Power Chef, pull cord to puree. Return strawberries to bowl. 
6. Rinse Power Chef and blade, and repeat with blueberries.
7. Strain strawberry and blueberry puree into separate Squeeze It™ Bottles. 
8. Add water as needed to create desired consistency.
9. Squeeze the desired amount of flavored syrup on Shaved Ice in cones or bowls.

I think I will be making this often this Summer season.  

And I bet the Grate Master Ice Shaving Cone can be used to make some awesome frozen drinks on the deck ... just sayin'
