Ingredients

> 2 lbs strawberries, hulled
> 1/4 cup sugar
> 1 cup lemonade
> Pinch of salt

Steps

1
Quarter the strawberries and add to a blender along with the sugar, lemonade, and salt. Purée until smooth.
2
Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch metal baking pan. Freeze, uncovered, 30-45 min., until surface begins to freeze. With fork, scrape purée and any ice crystals, stirring together. Repeat scraping 3–4 more times every 40–45 min., until mixture is frozen but still fluffy. Keep frozen until ready to serve. Spoon into small glasses, bowls, or jars to serve.

Tips

For a blue version, use 1⅓ cups (½ pint) blackberries and 2⅓ cups (1 pint) blueberries. Replace the lemonade with blue fruit punch or sports drink. Make both red and blue versions and layer them in glasses to serve.
