Banana Ice

I found a recipe at Not Just A Mommy that we are going to have to try while the weather is warm.  Banana Ice:

It was a recipe that was submitted by a reader, Nancy Scott, to Martha Stewart Everyday Food.

Banana Ice

1/2 cup 1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups water

3 oranges and 3 lemons, juiced

8 oz crushed pineapple

3 bananas, cut into small pieces

garnish: mint sprigs

1. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Transfer to an 8-inch square dish and mix with the juices from the oranges and lemons, the crushed pineapple and banana pieces.

3. Freeze 3 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from freezer about 20 minutes before serving (mixture should be slightly slushy).

4. If desired, mix with a lemon-lime soda like 7-Up and garnish with the mint sprigs
