Ingredients: 2 19-ounce (540 mL) tins pitted lychees 3 tablespoons vodka, optional Lime juice, to taste 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced, optional 4 to 6 strawberries Preparation: 1. In blender or food processor, blend lychee and juice until liquified. 2. Add vodka and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding lime juice. 3. Pour mixture into shallow glass or plastic pan, cover and place in freezer. Check after about 2 hours. When mixture is beginning to freeze, stir with fork so it doesn't freeze solid.
