Introduction

I got bored and played with the blender and some frozen fruit I have. It didn't taste right so I added the ginger, and it pulled it all together. I got bored and played with the blender and some frozen fruit I have. It didn't taste right so I added the ginger, and it pulled it all together.

Ingredients

    1c. frozen pineapple chunks
    1c. frozen peach slices
    1/2c. grapefruit juice
    enough water to emulsify the mix
    crystallized ginger (to taste)

Directions

Pour 1/2 of the grapefruit juice into the blender, and toss in a handful of fruit. Pulse until fruit is mixed, then continue to add in the rest of the fruit, handful by handful, until it's all chopped and blended. Add some water to the mix if it doesn't turn to a smoothie-type consistency.

Add in the ginger, piece by piece, tasting the mix in-between pieces until it tastes right. I used 5 pieces of ginger, but I happen to love ginger. It's easier to just taste it before you put in too much, than to start from scratch again.
