OK, I'm nuts. I made this in early Dec, LOL. I used cherry (of course) and used 1/2 the ask for sweetening and replaced the sugar with Splenda. My problem was that no amount of blending with my Vita Mix would reduce all of the ice to a smooth slush. It insisted on remaining quite lumpy even with poking and prodding the ice down and a total of 3 mins of blending. I even started with crushed ice. As nobody else said anything about this I can only assume that it's the fault of my machine. Ice chunks or not, I'll sure enjoy this next summer.
