Time to roll out the fireworks and have a party.
Take a moment to remember all those who have laid their life on the line
so we can have this day.
I wanted to share some 4th of July fun recipes with you that a friend shared with me.
Red, White and Blue Sangria
Ingredients:
Strawberries, sliced
Blueberries
Pineapple, cut into star shapes
2 bottles of dry white wine
1 cup triple sec
1/2 cup berry flavored vodka
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher and stir. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours.
Festive Fruit PopsIngredients:
1 3/4 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries, stems removed
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup (or more) honey
1 cup strawberries, stems removed
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup (or more) honey
Instructions:
Rinse the blueberries and strawberries, then thoroughly puree each fruit separately. Stir 2 tbsp (or more) honey into the blueberries and 1 tbsp (or more) into the strawberries. Spoon 1 cup of yogurt into a bowl, and add 1 tbsp honey.
To make the ice pops, spoon the blueberry mixture into the bottom of your molds, so that they’re one quarter filled. Freeze the pops for 30 minutes then add a small yogurt layer. Freeze for 30 minutes, add a strawberry layer. If using Dixie cup and Popsicle sticks, insert them now, and pour the rest of the layers around the sticks. If using store bought molds insert the stick, and then remove it each time you add a layer. It will freeze in place eventually. Freeze for the strawberry layer for 30 minutes then add a yogurt layer. Continue until the Popsicle molds are full. Freeze for several hours or overnight.
4th of July Wands
Ingredients:
1 watermelon
2 pints blueberries
20 skewers
Instructions:
Slice the watermelon into 1/2 inch round slices, and then cut out star shapes using a three-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Gently slide the blueberries on wooden skewers and finally place a watermelon star on the top. Place the skewers in a tall glass or in decorated floral foam as an eatable centerpiece.
Enjoy your day no matter what you are doing.
