Storing Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Slushies

Slushies are best enjoyed fresh, right after blending. But if you need to save some:

• Short-Term (1-2 hours): Keep the slush in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to stop it from turning into a solid block.
• Frozen Longer (Up to 1 Month): Pour slush into ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag. When you’re ready, blend the cubes with a little juice or water to bring the slushie back to life.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Use Frozen Fruit for the Best Texture: Frozen pineapple and strawberries give the slushie that thick, icy feel. Fresh fruit won’t work the same unless you add ice.
• Blend Slowly at First: Start your blender on a low speed, then slowly increase. This helps the frozen fruit blend evenly without stressing your blender.
• Adjust Sweetness to Your Taste: Taste the slush before pouring. If it’s too tart, add a little more honey. If it’s too sweet, add a splash of water or lime juice.
• Keep Juice Handy: If the mixture gets stuck while blending, don’t worry—just add more juice a little at a time.
• Serve Right Away: Slushies melt fast, so enjoy them as soon as you make them.
