SNO CONES
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand
4 cups water
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, separated
2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
1 cup purple grape juice concentrate
4 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon honey
In a saucepan bring the water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Let cool then pour into a shallow pan and freeze overnight. The next day, scrape the surface of the ice with a metal spoon to make shaved ice. Store in the freezer until ready to serve. To make the toppings, puree the raspberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and strain to remove the seeds and set aside. Blend the grape juice concentrate with the mint leaves in a blender and strain and set aside. Whisk together the citrus juices and honey and set aside. Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop a ball of the shaved ice onto 4 cones. Drizzle with various syrups and serve immediately.
