You don't need any machinery for this. You mash the watermelon. An easy old fashion way is with a hand mixer or a potato masher. Measure it out and add the sugar. lemon juice and a little liquor. Pour it all into a baking pan and put it in the freezer. Then you take a spoon and stir it every hour until it is slushy and almost hard. Then you put it in a container with a lid to store in the freezer. You just scoop it out when you want some. The liquor keeps it from completely turning into a solid ice cube. Watch Clara's video. She adds flavoring when she serves it because she only has sugar water.

You can get a blender at Walmart for under $20, and they come in all kinds of colors. Also at Walmart you can get a Black and Decker Food Processor for under $50. It has a big mouth for slicing potatoes. I love my food processor and use it all the time. I make noodles and pie dough in it. I don't use my blender much now that I have the food processor but I have worn three blenders out in my life time. Look on line for after Christmas deals. You can get it shipped to your place. Food processors are real work horses in the kitchen. They slice, chop, blend and mix.

My ice cream maker is a real luxury item. I bought it at Big Lots. That store is a brick and mortar over stock dot com. I had earned through my purchases a 20% off coupon so I bought the ice cream maker for $24. My food processor came from Best Buy on line bargains. It was recondition. It is a kitchen aid and I have had it for 6 years.

Yeah but Momoe, where do you get the machinery?

I suppose one needs colanders?

But how the hell does one crush the ice?

These ads on tv want 200 bucks for the pleasure.

You are welcome. When I was a kid we would pick black berries along the road and make ice with them.

My daughter just brought me a big bag of key limes. I will be making juice tonight to freeze in ice cube trays then put them in baggies. It should not be to hard to find reasons to use the juice.

I believe I shall attempt an

I need to point out that you only need a little liquor. If you put too much in the ice will not freeze. Later you make your drink with as much liquor or wine you like.

I just love the videos that Clare did for you tube. She has a owl cookie jar on her counter that was just like my Aunt Helen's that sat in the corner of her counter. It brings back memories for me.
