I'm still stuck on lemonade this week so here are a couple of lemonade recipes with a twist. One is from SOUTHERN LIVING and the other from PAULA DEEN.
WATERMELON LEMONADE
Squeeze juice from 10 large lemons to equal 2 cups; reserve 4 squeezed lemons. Bring 6 cups water, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt to a boil; stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; add reserved lemons. Cool; strain into a large pitcher. Process 4 cups chopped watermelon and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth; strain into a pitcher. Stir in juice. Serve with ice.
MAKES 12 CUPS
STRAWBERRY LEMONADE
6 cups water
2 1/2 c. chopped strawberries
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. fresh lemon juice (about 11 lemons)
Garnish: lemon slices
In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups water, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture turns a deep pink. Let cool completely.
Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher; discard solids. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve over ice, and garnish with lemon, if desired.
