Juice of 6 lemons
1/2    cup crushed pineapple
1/2    cup mashed strawberries
Sugar syrup
Juice of 6 oranges
4       cups water

How to make lemon punch

Mix the fruit juice and sweeten to taste with sugar syrup.
Add crushed fruit and water.
Garish with lemon or orange slices if desired.
Approximate yield: 8 tall glasses.

Sugar Syrup

Boil equal amounts of sugar and water about 10 minutes, pour into a sterilized jar,

chill, and use for beverages.

COOKING AND HEALTH TIPS:
Juicy Citrus Fruits
Get the most juice out of fresh lemons, limes and oranges. Bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing. Or microwave fruits on high for 30 seconds, let stand a couple of minutes before cutting and squeezing them.

Hamilton Beach Snowman Ice Shaver

On hot summer days nothing beats a scoop of snow--to eat! This delightful Snowman churns out bowlfuls of shaved ice in just seconds. Kids can slurp flavored sno-cones for a birthday party and adults can sip frozen daiquiris for evenings on the deck. Two 4-inch round plastic molds with lids are included for freezing water, syrup-flavored water, or fruit juices. Simply place the frozen round (regular ice cubes will work, too, but not as well) in the blade unit, cover with the motorized top, and press down on the palm-size operating button. A bowl placed underneath (not included) catches the instant snow. For safety the sharp blade is completely internal and not accessible to fingers when the Snowman is operating. The machine measures 13 inches high when assembled, with an 8-inch-square base. A one-year warranty covers the Snowman against defects. --Ann Bieri
