Directions

Just put the fruit in a blender and blend until smooth. Then pour into a bowl or shallow pan and place in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 15 minutes or so to break up ice crystals and prevent the mixture from freezing solid too fast. These take at least 1½ to 2 hours and 6 to 8 vigorous stirrings to finish.

Don't prepare them more than 8 hours in advance, since ices are best served right from the freezer. If you must work ahead, cover the finished product tightly with foil to prevent flavor loss. Serve in chilled dishes, garnished with mint leaves or fresh fruit sections.

For special treats, try the following flavor combinations. Each recipe serves 2.

FENNEL-HONEYDEW ICE: 1 cup honeydew puree; ¼ tsp. fennel seed; ¼ tsp. lime juice.

BERRY ICE: 1 cup berry puree (use raspberries, blueberries or strawberries); ⅓ cup water; 1 tbsp. honey; ½ tsp. lemon juice.

NUTMEG-PEACH ICE: 1 peach, sliced; 3 tbsp. nonfat yogurt; dash grated nutmeg.
