FROZEN BLUE DEVIL

Serves 6

This frosty, tasty treat is provided by the California Dried Plum Board, and gives each person one "5 A Day" serving.

6 ounces pitted dried plums (about 1 cup)
6 tablespoons hot water
32 ounces white grape juice
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries,
partially thawed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


In a blender, combine the dried plums and water; process until the plums are finely chopped. Add the grape juice, raspberries, and lemon juice and puree until smooth. Pour into a shallow metal baking pan.

Freeze for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Freeze for about 2 hours longer, or until completely frozen.

To serve, let the icee stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or until slightly softened. Use a metal spoon to scrape across its surface, transferring the ice shards to chilled dessert dishes or wine glasses without packing them.
