Red Raspberry Lemonade; Asparagus Soup - Cuisinart Smart Stick CSB-76 Series Instruction/Recipe Booklet

Red Raspberry Lemonade

This tangy, refreshing lemonade makes a perfect punch
Makes 10 cups lemonade
1 12-ounce package frozen raspberries (no sugar added),
thawed
⁄
1
1 cups superfine sugar
2
⁄
1
1 cups fresh lemon juice (or lime juice for Red Raspberry
2
Limeade)
7 cups cold water or sparkling water, seltzer or club soda
Place the raspberries in the mixing beaker. Place the Cuisinart
Stick ® in the mixing beaker, making certain the protective guard is sub-
merged in the raspberries. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down motion,
moving the blender from the bottom to just under the top of the rasp-
berries, until the raspberries are blended and completely puréed. Press
raspberry purée through a fine mesh strainer (chinois) using a wooden
spoon or spatula. There will be about 1 cup purée.
Place raspberry purée in a large pitcher with the sugar. Insert the hand
blender in the mixture, making certain the protective guard is sub-
merged in the mixture. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down motion, until
the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice
and blend again until completely mixed, about 15 seconds.
To serve, add chilled water to raspberry-lemon mixture. Serve over ice
and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a thin slice of lemon, and some
fresh raspberries.
