Luke was imprisoned by a ferocious wampa on the ice planet Hoth, and held captive in the creature’s frozen lair. Narrowly escaping with his life, some believe Luke also made off with the wampa’s secret snow cone recipe.
Makes 2 servings.
INGREDIENTS
2 |
cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries |
1/4 |
cup water |
1 |
tablespoon sugar |
1. Put the blueberries in a bowl. Mash them with a fork until there’s lots of liquid.
2. Hold a strainer over a small glass baking dish and pour the mashed berries into a sieve. Press the berries with a fork to push through as much liquid as possible.
3. Add the water and sugar to the blueberry juice. With a wooden spoon, stir until the sugar dissolves. Put the dish in the freezer.
4. After 30 minutes take the dish out of the freezer. Stir the mixture with a fork to break up the crystals. Return the dish to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
5. Remove the dish again and break up the crystals one more time. Return to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
6. Remove the dish from the freezer. Using the fork, scrape the mixture into small crystals. Quickly scoop the crystals into small paper cups and serve right away.
Variation: Replace the blueberries, water, and sugar with a bottled fruit juice or drink such as apple juice, lemonade or punch. Follow the directions for freezing and scraping the crystals.
