"Here is a basic strawberry jam recipe; no-cook. Once you try this and see how easy it is, you'll never buy commercial strawberry jam again!"

Ingredients: fruit pectin, strawberries...

"This is such a wonderful summertime treat! I have used all kinds of fruit combinations in this; use your imagination. Far richer and intense in flavour than anything you can buy, and yet it's almost all just healthy fruit. The fruits that work best have a fairly smooth fleshy texture; things like mangoes, muskmelons, peaches, apricots, and bananas...."

Ingredients: fruit, mangoes, peaches...

"This is an adopted recipe. Here's what the OP had to say about it: "This is my recipe and is an excellent solution to managing your consumption of fat, triglycerides, sugar, etc., because it's all-natural without the need for any additives of any kind. Kids love eating and making this recipe, too! And it is the healthiest alternative to..."

Ingredients: fresh fruit, honey, soymilk...

"For special events, Mom and Dad always made this slush. Obtained from "Canadian Lutheran Ladies Family Favourites Cookbook" by Bethesda Lutheran from New Norway, Alberta."

Ingredients: lemons, oranges...

"This is absolutely the easiest way to preserve all those tomatoes from your garden. You don't even need to peel them before freezing. Family friends in Northern Ontario used to do this but this method was found in Chatelaine Food Express Quickies. The servings depend on how many tomatoes you're freezing. Preparation time also depends on how..."

Ingredients: fresh tomatoes, ziploc bags...

"I love the flavours of watermelon and lime and this makes a very cool and refreshing treat in the summer months."

Ingredients: seedless watermelon, lime juice...

"This is a lovely fresh granita that couldn't be easier to prepare. We like to add a couple of shots of vodka to it just before freezing, to make a more grown up version. Perfect for after a barbecue! Timing does not include 3 hours freezing time."

Ingredients: sugar, vodka, water...

"Very refreshing and healthy drink! You can adjust the quantities to your taste. Prep time doesn't include freezing the fruit."

Ingredients: fresh strawberries, lemon juice...

"I came about these not just tasty but pretty cubes when I was making mojitos. I went overboard squeezing limes and had 1 1/2 cups of juice left over so I tossed in lime and mint and walla! If you skip the sugar it will be very tangy the way I enjoy it.
Do use these in lemonade, juice, punch, ice teas, cocktails of choice........."

Ingredients: fresh lime juice, lime wedges...

"From my local newpaper. Great for a hot summer day."

Ingredients: watermelon, carbonated water...

"A very refreshing ice cream! It really hits the spot on a hot day. If you have leftovers, bear in mind that making the ice cream without oil makes it healthier, but it will freeze harder than your regular ice cream. I usually stick the container in the microwave for about ten seconds so it is soft enough to scoop. Still delicious!"

Ingredients: soft tofu, crushed pineapple in syrup...

"I used to eat these all the time when I was little. Healthy and yummy, this is a good alternative for when kids want something sweet or something cold. They're still great especially for hot weather and for a healthy snack. Any kind of yogurt can be used (my favorite is Dannon's Lemon) or juice (I like apple or orange). Much better than store-bought..."

Ingredients: juice, wooden popsicle sticks...

"Before commercial ice cream was available in the Gulf countries, homemade ices were very popular in the summer heat. This is a basic recipe calling for oranges and lemons, but can easily be substituted with crushed melon, strawberries, or whatever your favorite fruit may be. From "The Arabian Delights Cookbook." Recipe time does not include..."

Ingredients: fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice...

"I came up with this when I wanted to use up a couple of ripe bananas and I was in the mood for a Colada type drink. I didn't want to use cream of coconut or coconut milk, so this is the result. It still has the same sort of taste, but is much lighter. Since I am not a big fan of heavy creamy drinks, I actually like this better!"

Ingredients: coconut rum, sweetened flaked coconut...
