We have been cheated!!!

[Myca]

I love Cherry Limeades. You know. The old SAD versoins. Loads of sugar and artificial flavors and if lucky a real slice of lime. Oh yummy.

Well last night, I found the first bag of cherries for the season. I thought, I think I'll find a lime and make my own cherrie limeade. So, this morning, I got up [It was really noon.] and started removing pits from my cherries. There is just something so satisfying about preparing food from scratch.

2 cups cherries
1/4 pineapple chunks
1 whole lime peeled.
Put it all in the blender and enjoy.

Wow, what I've been missing all these years!!!

great idea. I want to show my mom one of those, she's addicted to Sonic's Cherry Limeade in the summer.

Alas in canada they do not sell frozen cherries, so whenever i go to texas i buy lots of frozen cherries and pineapple and make smoothies every day with them

Thankyou Myca - This sure looks delicous!

Is that 1/4 of a pineapple? Thanks ~ *Ü*

Hehe, you are slow today CG! ;)

She means the fact that the natural version is so much yummier than the yuck-packed factory version.

Sounds good, I'll give it a go.... in about 5 months time when it's stops being the dead of winter here. :(

ALTHOUGH, just realised I have some cherries frozen in the freezer from the cherry farm we visited! YAY!

Yes. 1/4 of a pineapple. You can adjust it to your taste. I like sweet things.

[Ironbutterfly]

What an great sounding drink! I'll have to wrangle up some cherries this weekend.

How long did it take you to pit the cherries? I'm sure it was worth it, I'm just curious. :)

[DebB]

We've got 2 of these cherry pitters (http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Deluxe-Cherry-Stoner-Pitter/dp/B00005EBH0). We bought them locally at a farm supply store. We freeze a LOT of sweet cherries and this pitter is worth its weight in gold when you're doing a lot!

That's a good price - I believe we paid just under $20 for ours (ofcourse you'd have to add in S&H). *Ü*

I'm about to make this....I'm assuming water to blend???
