Fun Friday Fruit Freeze
 |
It’s another one of those days when I have to sit at an auto lounge waiting for something to be done with my car. I would normally bring a book or mag with me on such trips but I forgot this time as I was rushing out the door (as always). Good thing they had some decent magazines lying around and I picked up the August issue of Family Fun. I was delighted to find that this issue had some great ideas for cool summer treats and the one that caught my eye was their Rainbow Ice Cubes.
This is such a simple but fun thing to do. All that was required were some fruits and an ice cube tray. As soon as my car was ready, I headed to the closest grocery store and bought some strawberries and nectarines for my fruit freeze. I already had green grapes and blueberries in the fridge. These juicy fruits will surely taste good and look great together.
I sliced the strawberries and grapes. As for the nectarines, I cubed them instead. Blueberries can be whole as they would fit easily into an ice cube. Place a combination of fruits in each little cube in the ice tray and top with water or seltzer. Place the tray in the freezer and two hours later you get fruit freeze.
Fill glass with ginger ale, fruit juice,
water, or whatever takes your fancy, and drop in a few cubes of these beauties. It’s a real treat on a hot day!
Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day!

fruit freeze sounds too gud,love the pics…
Wow…these look so cute and pretty. Must be fun to make and drink. I should make these for parties.
Looks pretty yummy to me…delicious…! color of clicks rocks…!!!
Love this! I do something similar when making punch drinks. You can freeze some of the extra punch into ice cubes along with fruit and that way you avoid your drink getting watery and add some beautiful fruit in at the same time. Thanks for sharing this and have a great weekend!
Oh yes, Mary, this will be perfect for parties! I'll also do this the next time I have some friend over
Thanks for the tips Julie. Great idea! I'll remember to do that the next time. You have a great weekend too

Biren, These fruit cubes look pretty and fun. Love the first picture, very colorful.
Love this idea Biren! Definitely a fun and creative way to jazz up plain ol' boring ice cubes. My kiddies would love these. I'm a huge sucker for anything fruity, and colorful. Guess I'm still a kid sometimes even though I have kids of my own (blush). Have a great weekend!
Very interesting idea. Book marked.
What a fun way to eat fruits!! Never thought about fruits in ice cubes. Very innovative, Biren.
Those fruit ice cubes look so pretty..loved the idea….so colourful and tempting too…
Hey Biren, this is genius! I always make fruit water, but I never really thought about fruit ice. I know Cauldron Boy would love this, so I'm going to make some now;)
Hope you guys have a good weekend. Oh, by the way, my Mom's garden kept me from doing any real cooking/baking. I'm supposed to be making 'Biren's Gluten-Free Bread' this Sunday. Everyone has promised to leave me be…
The drinks look so refreshing and colourful! Very nice:).
Very cool! This would be a great project to do with my daughter!
I like these fruity cubes and I agree kids would love making these;-)
Who would have thought you would find such a great idea at the auto place! Very cute.
Biren, what a great idea!! I love this fruity ice!!
Biren, this looks like a perfect thing to try. Thanks for the idea!
Love this idea! And they look so pretty and elegant!
These are so pretty! I would love to serve this at a summer party!
What a wonderful and refreshing idea…Perfect for warm days
A simple but striking idea and garnish for long, cool summer drinks. It's still blisteringly hot over here – such a timely idea. Thanks for sharing
