Cherry Lemonade


This lemonade packs a punch, no doubt about it.  So if you're like my cute husband you may want to water it down a bit.  My kids love making this one.  They ask for it all the time.  If you feel like puckering up and have no one to kiss... this one is for you.

1 16 ounce bag frozen cherries
1 16 ounce jar maraschino cherries without stems
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice, about 5 or 6 lemons
4~6 cups cold water

Process cherries, cherry juice from jar, sugar and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.  Pour fruit mixture through a wire mesh strainer into a pitcher, discarding solids.  (I actually strain it twice).  Stir in water to taste.  Serve over ice.

*If it's too thick or strong for your liking... add more water.
