Frozen Fruit Cups

This one of our family favorites. It is one of the few foods that will keep Eli sitting at the table for 20 minutes, and it gets requested by the girls more than any other recipe. It is time-consuming, so plan for some quality time at your kitchen counter. But it is well worth it! And what a wonderful treat to fill the freezer with!

Frozen Fruit Cups

2 c. water

3/4 c. pineapple-orange juice concentrate

3/4 c. lemonade concentrate

1 can pineapple tidbits, drained

2 firm bananas, slice and quartered

1-1/2 c. grapes, halved

1-1/2 c. quartered strawberries

1-1/2 c. peaches, cubed

Bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring. Remove from heat and add concentrates until dissolved. Set aside juice to cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine all the fruits and put about 3/4 c. in each plastic cup. Top each fruit cup with juice. Cover with foil and freeze.

These do freeze hard, so we set them out on the table before a meal so they thaw slightly before we eat them, or microwave for about 15 seconds. Otherwise, we play "archeologist" trying to dig out fruit treasures!
