We WISH....

We have to admit...One of life's wonderful guilty pleasures is reading magazines.
Do we NEED them? Nope. Do we LOVE them. Yep.

Magazines that have lots of little useful tidbits and pretty pictures are always the best.

One of our favourite magazines is Wish. It's like having four neat little magazines combined into one. The Editors seem to "get" that there aren't enough hours in a day to get everything done. It's like they suggest things to simplify our lives.

We saw this really neat and simple recipe on their website and thought we'd pass it along....

Raspberry & Strawberry Granita

Ingredients (Serves 6)

3/4	cup sugar
1	cup water
1	cup lemon juice
1	cup strawberry juice
1	pint fresh raspberries, crushed with a fork

Instructions

1. Combine sugar, water and juices in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Pour into a shallow pan, add crushed raspberries and stir.
4. Place in freezer for one hour.
5. Remove from freezer and fork the crystals that have formed around the edges into the rest of the juice. Continue to do this at intervals for another hour, forking the slush to break it up as it freezes. The result is fine shards of ice. Serving Tip: Put serving bowls or glasses in the freezer in the afternoon. A frosted glass will help keep the granita cold.
