As promised in my last post, here is one of the recipes from the baby shower. I decided not to go with the great white punch due to need for a punch bowl, which I couldn't find. Instead I took some Country Time Lemonade and made it extra delicious by mixing in some homemade raspberry syrup. I made the syrup a few days in advance to save time. The morning of the shower all I had to do was pour the lemonade in a pitcher, stir in the syrup and slice few lemons to top it off. A delicious drink with very little effort!
Raspberry Lemonade
2 liter bottle of Lemonade , chilled
1 lemon, sliced
Raspberry Syrup, chilled
Pour Lemonade into pitcher. Add raspberry syrup to taste. Add sliced lemons and serve. Enjoy!
Raspberry Syrup
2 cups frozen raspberries
1 cup sugar
Heat raspberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the juices come out and the sugar is dissolved, squashing the berries as you go. Simmer until slightly thickened about 2 minutes. Pour raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer, set over a bowl. Use a spoon to press the berries against the strainer to get all the juices out. It is best to work in small batches, as the seeds can clog up the strainer. Discard the berry solids after each batch. Store the syrup in the refrigerator until cool, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week.
