Pink Lemonade


This recipe is from my friend Stacey's blog. Stacey actually has several blogs each covering a fantastic, informative array of topics. This recipe comes from her blog at http://everybitcookinggardening.blogspot.com. She also has a fantastic blog about her struggles with fibromyalgia, and lupus while raising a family. This can be found at http://fibroandi.blogspot.com.

Ingredients

1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed or bottled
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup splenda
5 cups water

1 lemon (optional, for slices)

Directions:
In a blender, puree lemon juice and strawberries. Strain through fine mesh strainer pressing berries with spatula. Combine juice, splenda, and water and stir until splenda is dissolved. Pour into a jar and cover. Refrigerate. Add lemon slices before serving. (ok call me lazy but I just put everything in the blender and didn't strain a thing, there was a foam on the top, but the lemonade was fantastic!).
