"We discovered Italian ice about a year ago, and it has become a family favorite," reports Jay Hansen of Winter Haven, Florida. "The recipes I found, however, required quite a bit of sugar, so I developed my own version using fresh strawberries, fruit juice concentrate and a hint of lemon."

1 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
Fresh mint, optional
