Combine sugar, lime juice and water in bowl. Stir to mix, then let stand until sugar is almost completely dissolved, about 15 minutes (mixture will be thick).
In blender jar or food processor, combine the sugar mixture with the berries.
Blend until smooth.
Pack into half-pint, pint or quart-size freezer containers; freeze. Or pour the mixture into ice-cube trays and freeze until firm, unmold and pack into freezer bags that seal.
The mixture will become solid, but will have the consistency of a very firm sherbet, so you will be able to scoop portions from the main batch, then reseal the mixture if you desire.
For each strawberry daiquiri: In blender jar, combine 3 or 4 tablespoons rum
(light or dark),1/4 cup frozen strawberry daiquiri mix (2 average-sized cubes that have been frozen in ice-cube trays) and about3/4 cup of ice cubes (7 or 8 average-sized cubes). Blend until smooth. Most blender jars can handle up to 4 servings.
For a nonalcoholic drink, replace the rum with unsweetened pineapple juice. |
