Sweet and refreshing, this pretty pink slush stores well in the freezer, so it's great to have on hand for summer guests. Just thaw and add ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Aahhh! —Danielle Brandt, Ruthton, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 8 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened strawberries
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 11 cups ginger ale, chilled
  • Rhubarb curls, optional

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, bring the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Press through a sieve; discard pulp. Stir in gelatin and lemon juice until dissolved.
  2. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze, stirring occasionally, until firm. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
  3. To use frozen rhubarb mixture: In a punch bowl or several pitchers, combine equal amounts of rhubarb mixture and ginger ale. Or for one serving, combine 1/2 cup rhubarb mixture and 1/2 cup ginger ale in a glass. Garnish with rhubarb curls if desired. Serve immediately.
