As you may know, Devin is Lactose intolerant, so he loves this kind of stuff.......but this is REALLY good, and low fat!!

3/4 cup water
1 Tbsp. Finely Shredded Orange Peel
2 tsp. Finely shredded Lemon Peel
1 1/2 tsp. Finely shredded Lime Peel
1/3 cup orange juice
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. lime juice
4 cups sliced strawberries

1. In a medium sauce pan combine sugar, water, and all shredded peels. Bring to boil, reduce and simmer 5 minutes uncovered. Let cool slightly, strain and add juices.
2. In blender or food processor combine half of strawberries and half of juice mixture. Cover and blend with several on/off turns until nearly smooth (leave some small chunks of strawberries). Pour into a freezer safe container. Repeat with other half. Freeze until solid (6-8 hrs)
3. Let stand about 20 mins or until soft enough to scrape out. Makes 8 servings.
