Frappe

This recipe comes from my mom. She made this a lot for Christmas when I was growing up. It is so good. Very refreshing and festive for the holidays.

To 1 cup boiling water add 2 c. sugar and boil together for 3 minutes.
Dissolve 1 envelope Knox Gelatin into 2 T. cold water. Add to syrup after removal from stove.
Add 3 cups cold water, a pinch of salt, 1/4 c. lemon juice, 2 c. unsweetened pineapple juice and a drop or two of food coloring (red, green or whatever). Freeze.

Shortly before serving, mash with potato masher and add 3 lg. (qt. sz.) 7-up or Sprite.
Serves: 20 cups
