Stewed Fruits and Fruit Ices

Ingredients

strong lemonade
chopped ice
coarse sea salt

Directions

Mix chopped ice and coarse sea salt in a large pail, using double the weight of ice to salt.
Place strong lemonade in a smaller pail and set it inside the larger pail.
Stir the mixture constantly to prevent the lemonade from freezing solid.
Scrape the sides of the inner pail regularly to ensure even freezing.
If you don't have an ice machine, use a clean round coffee tin instead.
