If You Can’t Eat Your Fruit…

DRINK IT!

Yum. My only regret is I didn’t think of it sooner. All that wasted fruit…

I like to buy fruit. It’s tasty, healthy and especially refreshing on a hot summer day. Even so, I can never seem to eat it before it goes bad.  This time it was a baby watermelon. I had it with breakfast, shared it with friends and randomly grabbed pieces throughout the day; but the bowl still remained entirely too full for my liking. I knew that if I didn’t take action soon, the watermelon would be another food casualty that I’d find weeks later shoved to the back of the fridge, covered in a scary mass of mold.

And that very well might have happened, had I not had a brilliant idea. (Yes, it happens once in a great while.) I would make the most delicious, refreshing, summertime libation EVER. I found a recipe that even incorporated peaches (amazingly enough I had a wayward peach that was on the verge of becoming it’s own interesting refrigerator specimen and a bottle of rum that had been fermenting for over a year), and an idea became a refreshing drink. Fruit, booze, ice, blender, DONE. Cheers!

  1. Lauren – many times I have had “science projects” living in my fridge. You give me hope that I can save them and produce a wonderful libation worthy of your peach-watermelon concoction. Cindy
