I made up a recipe several years ago that was very similar to this. It is one of my favorite, most refreshing desserts. I use frozen fruits (so I didn't need to put in freezer) and I used Splenda. I didn't think of adding the lemon juice. Can't wait to try it with Lime juice (as I have a lime tree and not a lemon tree ) I will try this with fresh berries (as written but will use Splenda. Thanks for posting.

    I made mine with fresh berries from home, and used juice of two lemons (i.e. 6 tbsp "ReaLemon"). This recipe is all flavor! (Though it will depend on the quality of your berries!). The amount of sugar was nice, it was just enough to cut down on tartness but wasn't overly sweet. I froze some of my mixture in popsicle containers.

    Refreshing & HeaLTHY! I used my vita mix which allowed me to skip the hulling, sieving, & freezing. I used frozen berries putting them into the vita mix with the juices and 1/2 the sugar. The berries were sweet and really didn`t need it. Blended on medium then high using the pusher. Came out very creamy and yummy!
