Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups white (granulated) sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups apples (peeled, seeded, chopped)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice, chilled
• 5 cups chilled water
• 10 fresh apple slices

Method

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and the 1 cup of water. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover, cool and refrigerate until chilled. To serve, puree apples in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. In a pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice, the 5 cups chilled water, and the strained apple puree. Serve with an apple wedge.

Notes: Around our home, lemonade is loved year-round. But I love to make a pitcher of this refreshing and unique version to celebrate the end of summer ...it's always a hit!

Number of servings: 8-10
