Kid-Friendly Watermelon Slush: Submitted by: Wendy R Cook | Date Added: 12 Jul 2019 Ingredients:

6 cups watermelon cubs, seeds removed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
7-Up or Sprite for serving

Cooking Instructions:

1. Place watermelon cubs in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Place a strainer over a large bowl. Pour processed watermelon through the strainer to remove the pulp, reserving the strained juice.
2. Stir granulated sugar and lemon juice into the watermelon juice until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Place the bowl in the freezer and freeze the mixture for 2 to 3 hours, stirring with a fork every 45 minutes or so to break up ice crystals.
4. When ready to serve, scrape the watermelon slush with a large spoon to create "shavings." Spoon slush shavings into a glass, filling the glass about 3/4 full. Pour in a little 7-Up or Sprite and stir. Garnish as desired.
