GRANDMA'S FROZEN FRUIT CUPS



Grandma's Frozen Fruit Cups image

My grandma passed away quite awhile ago, but this is one thing that really reminds me of her. She would make tons of it and freeze it to have enough all year long. We usually just used old yogurt cups and other random plastic containers with lids to make these in.

Categories     Pineapple

Time 5h20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups water
1 2/3 cups sugar
12 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
water (5 orange juice cans full)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 lbs crushed pineapple
fruit (Fresh or Frozen)

Steps:

  • Boil water and sugar until slightly thickened; cool slightly.
  • Add concentrate, water, lemon juice, and pineapple. Add fruit until juice is thick with fruit. Can be fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, grapes, peaches, bananas, raspberries, kiwi, etc. (We usually do strawberries, grapes, bananas, and blueberries) Put in individual cups and freeze.(containers with lids will keep longer.).
  • **Serving size depends on the size of containers you freeze this in! 24 is just a random guess, it makes a lot though! The 5 hours freeze time is probably about a minimum**.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh fruit: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your frozen fruit cups.
  • Wash and dry the fruit thoroughly: This will help prevent bacteria from growing and spoiling the fruit.
  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and enjoy the fruit cups.
  • Use a variety of fruits: This will create a more colorful and flavorful fruit cup.
  • Add a little sweetness: If the fruit is not sweet enough on its own, you can add a little sugar, honey, or agave syrup to taste.
  • Freeze the fruit cups in airtight containers: This will help preserve the fruit and prevent freezer burn.
  • Store the fruit cups in the freezer for up to 6 months: This will ensure that they are fresh and delicious when you are ready to eat them.

Conclusion:

Frozen fruit cups are a delicious, healthy, and refreshing snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning, you can have a variety of frozen fruit cups on hand to enjoy all summer long.
