nectarine slushies

I purchased my first load of produce from Bountiful Baskets this past weekend. For only $15 there was a ton of fruit and veggies. Nearly too much for my little family. So I’ve spent a good part of the day trying to come up with ways to prepare all this produce so that nothing goes to waste.

Today, in honor of it being a hot summer and ridiculously dusty outside, I made some cool and refreshing nectarine slushies.

Nectarine Slushy

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe nectarines
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 cups ice

Make a simple syrup by adding the sugar to the water in a saucepan. Heat until boiling, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved (do not stir). Once the sugar is dissolved set aside until cool. Cut up the nectarines into chunks. Blend both sugar-water and nectarines until smooth. Strain mixture to get out the peel and put into metal loaf pan. Freeze for at least three hours, stirring occasionally to prevent it from becoming solid. Once frozen, add two cups of crushed ice to the nectarine mixture and mix together. Freeze for another hour. Serve and eat quickly before it melts!

    What a delicious idea! We’ll be receiving fresh fruits and veggies every other week at our kiddos’ school, and I’m hoping to master canning some the tasty produce that comes our way 🙂

      Ooooh. I want to learn how to can, but it’s pretty intimidating. I really want to know how to can spicy pickled green beans. Yummers!
