Fruit Rocks Au De Champagne- or Fruit in a Cube -Lmf

"Cute little berry cubes that bring joy to your life as well as your glasses. I use these in the Summer or Spring to bring a joy to a tickling glass of ice tea, farm water, champagne, wine, or tonic water. Easy to put together, and a glorious in view."

directions

  • Defrost berries overnight. Push berries and jam through a strainer until you have 1 1/2 cups (approx) of mixture.
  • Put berry mixture into ice cube trays to make 12 cubes. Pour fruit juice into another set of ice cube trays.
  • Freeze at least 3 to 4 hours.
  • Pull cubes out with a small knife and put them into a bag for later use, and back in freezer.
  • 30 minutes before serving put 2 / 3 cubes of berry/ juice mixture in each glass. Place the glasses in the fridge for 20 minutes or on the counter for 15 minutes to soften cubes slightly.
  • Pour wine, or even water over cubes and serve with something sweet like a piece of cake.

  1. This recipe came just in time as I have a lot of jostaberries that can be used for this.<br/>I prepared enought ice cube that I will serve to our next guests.<br/>Thanks a lot for the impressive apero drink.<br/>Done for ZWT7
     
  2. These little things are so good, and not hard to make! I ran the fruit and jam through a food processor before straining, I think that helped a little. I had just enough to make 12 cubes. Made for ZWT 7.
     
  3. Made mine with just orange juice and fresh blueberries . . . they're also a great addition to smooties! Thanks Andi!
     
  4. What a wonderful idea...you are only limited by your imagination! I used frozen blackberries and strawberry preserves for the 'fruit' cubes, and strawberry nectar for the 'juice' cubes! I also used sparkling water, but look forward to trying with champagne or spumante. Thanks for stretching my creative boundaries, Andi!
     
  5. Made this with fresh mango and mango nectar and Asti - wow - this was really good. The nice thing is that I have ice cubes ready to go for the next time I have a hankering for this - which will probably be later today!
