Blackberry Limeade
Blackberry Limeade
6 c water, divided
3 c fresh blackberries
1 c sugar
2/3 c fresh lime juice - about 4 limes (I just used the stuff in a bottle)
8 thin lime slices
Fresh Blackberries (optional)
Place 1 c water and 3 c blackberries in a blender; process until smooth. Press blackberry puree through a sieve into a large pitcher; discard seeds. Add remaining 5 c water, sugar, and juice to pitcher; stir until sugar dissolves. Place 1 lime slice and a few blackberries, if desired, into each of 8 glasses; pour about 1 c limeade over each serving.
Yield: 8 servings

I LOVE limeade so I was pumped to try this. I followed the recipe mostly, but would make a few changes. We didn't strain the puree, we just tossed all the pulp and seeds in...and we liked it! It's a little more smoothie-ish. If you don't like pulp, though, you wouldn't like that. I used a little less than a cup of sugar and it was still too sugary for me. Next time I'd try 1/2 c sugar. You'll have to test out your perfect amount.
