Recipe: Watermelon Slushie

par Elizabeth Sullivan août 23, 2024 1 Commentaire

What do you do when you have a glut of watermelon? Freeze it and make watermelon slushie! I started doing this last summer and it's the perfect way to use up a watermelon, especially one that's a bit overripe. Plus, with a touch of lime and mint it really hits the spot on a hot day!

The measurements given are just a guideline - I don't usually measure, just use what I have or fill up the blender. My blender is nothing fancy, so I do need to include some fruit that is not frozen so that it will blend. Depending on what I have on hand, I'll use half fresh and half frozen watermelon, or if it's all been frozen, I'll take it out of the freezer and let it sit for 20-30 minutes until it's only semi-frozen and blends easily.

I sometimes add a dash of maple syrup, but it really depends on how ripe and sweet the watermelon is, so I recommend tasting it first and adding it at the end if you wish.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen watermelon chunks
2 cups fresh watermelon chunks
Juice of 1 lime (2-3 Tbsp)
Handful of fresh mint leaves
Dash of maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

Place the watermelon, lime juice and mint leaves in a blender and blend until smooth, adding a small amount of water if needed to get things moving
Taste and add maple syrup if needed.
Enjoy your slushie!

Makes 2 large or 4 small glasses

Getting to know Catherine from The Small Bird Workshop

We first met Catherine Knutsson, our collaborator on the Beyond Merino yarn club, when she organized the Great Canadian Wool-Along last summer as a way to celebrate crafting with local materials and supporting Canadian wool farmers. We loved the concept of the wool-along, and jumped at the chance to connect with a community of Canadian wool-lovers.

Fifteen Years of Sweet Paprika!

par Debbie Sullivan juillet 30, 2022 6 Commentaires

This year we're celebrating Sweet Paprika's 15th anniversary, and it's honestly been a bit hard to get my head around where the time has gone! We've been looking back through some of our old photos, and thought it would be fun to share a little retrospective here. Our little business has come a long way in the past 15 years!

Most of the images I'm including are not our polished product photos (although those have also come a long way since the early days), but more of a behind-the-scenes look at some of the memorable stepping stones along our journey.
