Homemade Crushed Ice Recipes

Steps:

• Pack clean fresh snow into 2 13x9 pans until dense and smooth on top.
• Keep snow or crushed ice outside or in freezer until ready to use.
• Add maple syrup & butter to saucepan.
• Boil uncovered on medium high heat until the syrup reaches 250 - 260 degrees.
• Do not stir.
• Remove from heat immediately and pour small strips of hot syrup on snow until pot is empty.
• A second person (wearing winter gloves) should roll each hot strip onto a popsicle stick or fork and leave on the snow to cool.
• Eat when cool.
• The syrup is extremely hot - it can cause severe burns.
• Store uneaten sticks on cookie sheets lined with waxed paper in the deep freeze.
• They will keep for several weeks.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in the drink mix. Allow to cool, and store in a container for pouring. Pour over shaved ice to flavor.

Steps:

• Remove rind from watermelon, cut into 2-inch chunks, and remove seeds. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, or in a resealable plastic bag; place in freezer until frozen, about 1 1/2 hours. (Transfer to airtight freezer bags if not using immediately.)
• Place frozen chunks in a food processor; process until smooth. Add sugar, lime juice, and Campari; process until fully incorporated, about 5 minutes, scraping down as necessary. Freeze in an airtight container, at least 2 hours, until firm. Stir if juice starts to separate from ice.
