    Star Recipe of the Month:

    INGREDIENTS

    1 cup cranberry juice

    1 cup lemonade

    1 cup blue sports drink

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Arrange 8 3-oz. paper or plastic cups on a

    baking sheet and divide cranberry juice

    evenly among them. Place baking sheet in

    freezer and freeze until juice is almost rm,

    about 1 hour.

    2. Insert craft sticks into center of slightly

    frozen juice. (If sticks wont quite stand upstraight, you can repositions them when

    the next layer starts to solidify.)

    3. Divide lemonade evenly among cups to

    make a second layer. Freeze until hard,

    about 2 hours.

    4. Pour Gatorade over lemonade layer and

    freeze until solid, about 3 hours.

    5. Gently pull each ice pop out of its cup

    (it helps to squeeze the cup lightly from

    bottom) and serve immediately.
