THIRSTY THURSDAY

Strawberry season is just around the corner and this recipe is tart and sweet. I found it in the newest issue of COOKING WITH PAULA DEEN.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE
6 cups water
2 1/2 c. strawberries,chopped
2 c. sugar (Splenda would probably work well if you want to limit sugar)
1 1/2 c. fresh lemon juice (about 11 lemons)
Garnish: lemon slices
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. 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.
