Mmm! So delicious and refreshing! I made this as written, except using red grapes instead of green and canned peaches instead of fresh. I also ended up with a little less strawberry and a little more melon. I had enough to fill about 18-20 little 1/2 cup containers (I lost count). I made these last night and stuck them in our freezer. I forgot to take one out again this morning, so I popped it into the microwave for about 30 seconds on 50% power. It's still partially frozen, kind of a slushy fruit mix. Very refreshing in the summer heat! The syrup was a little on the sweet side, so I might try using less sugar next time. But I'm sure I'll make this again! Thanks so much for sharing, gailanng! Made for PRMR tag game.
