HOMEMADE SNOW CONES RECIPE (MADE WITH REAL FRUIT)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and fruit.
• Simmer until the fruit has softened and the sugar dissolved, roughly 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer your fruit mixture to a food processor and blend the fruit into a smooth puree. If you don't have a processor try passing it through a fine sieve.
• Once pureed strain over a bowl to remove any seeds or bits from the fruit. If you find the syrup a bit too thick at this stage thin it out with some juice or a little water. Store the syrups in the fridge for up to 7 days.
• Place ice cubes in a blender and pulse to create fine shaved ice. Store in the freezer if you are not using it straight away.
• Scoop your shaved ice into serving dish of your choice and pack it tight together. Pour over your fruit syrup and enjoy immediately!

HOW TO MAKE SNOW CONES

Steps:

• Crush ice to your blender. You can add a little bit of ice to make a personal snow cone, a moderate amount of ice to serve a few people, or you could fill the blender with ice to create many servings. Be sure to follow the directions that came with your blender for best results. Depending on your blender, you might have many different settings to choose from when crushing your ice. In many cases, the puree feature will give you finely crushed ice, which is ideal for snow cones. You might like your snow cones with larger bits of ice. If so, you should blend your ice for a shorter period of time. Extra fine ice can be achieved by running the ice through the blender for longer. If you don't have a blender, you can put your ice in a heavy duty plastic bag and smash the ice with a rolling pin, hammer, or tenderizing mallet. You could also drop your ice repeatedly onto a hard surface to crush this ice, though this may take some time. You can also make your snow cone out of fresh, clean snow. You should exercise caution when doing this, though. Some snow may contain impurities that are unhealthy to consume.
• Remove the ice from your blender. You can leave your ice in the blender and scoop it out for the snow cones, but you should be careful that no one accidentally cuts themselves on the blades at the bottom of the blender. To prevent this, you may want to pour or scoop your ice from the blender into a bowl. For especially large parties, you might have to prepare several blender's worth of ice and put it in a bowl for serving. You can keep your ice frozen until you're ready to serve it by keeping the blended ice in your freezer. You shouldn't leave your blended ice in the freezer for too long. If you do, it may refreeze leaving you with a bowl of solid ice.
• Scoop the ice into a cup. Traditionally, at fairs and summer events, snow cones are served in paper cones. These are a cheap and disposable way of serving your snow cones, so you may want to use these yourself. You could also use a mug cup, a paper cup, or a plastic cup, depending on your preference. You should fill your cup until it is full of crushed ice. You can use a large serving spoon, but you may want to use an ice cream scoop to give your snow cones a rounded shape.
• Drizzle flavoring over your snow cone. There are many different ways you can flavor your snow cone. You can use juice, soda, or specially made syrups. In most cases, one to two tablespoons per two scoops of ice should be enough to flavor your snow cone. Be careful not to add too much flavoring to your frozen treat! The temperature difference could cause your snow cone to melt quickly, turning your snow cone to a slush cone.
• Enjoy your flavored ice treat. With a paper cone, it's easy enough to eat a snow cone without any utensils. For regular shaped cups or deep cups, you may want to serve your cones with a spoon.

EASY 4-INGREDIENT SNOW CONES

Steps:

• Begin your simple syrup by juicing your orange. We used ¼ cup of juice, but you can use more or less depending on your preference.
• Add the water, sugar, and orange juice into a saucepan. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture develops a syrupy consistency (approximately 10-15 minutes).
• Remove the syrup from the heat and add the food colouring. To make orange, we used four drops of green and two drops of pink.
• Put the saucepan out in the snow (or in the fridge) to cool while you get the snow cones ready.
• We're fancy, so we used martini glasses instead of paper cones. The best method we found was to fill the martini glass with snow, then tightly pack a ladle with snow to create a separate, rounded surface.
• Once your glasses are ready and your syrup has cooled, drizzle the syrup onto your snow cones. Simple syrup is very sweet, so use no more than 2 tsp. per snow cone unless you want major cavities.

SNOW CONE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the drink mix. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Prepare cones or bowls of shaved ice and pour about 1/4 cup of the syrup on top of each.
