I had some frozen raspeberries and blueberries in the freezer to use up and decided to try this recipe to use them up.<br/>I picked a great recipe because this is lovely.<br/>I used it with soda water and it was just so refreshing and tasty. <br/>Such an easy recipe to make, the only change I made was to put the lemon halves into the pot instead of grated rind, and it worked so well.<br/>Such an easy a quick Lemonade to make.<br/>Made for THINK PINK RECIPE TAG EVENT - OCTOBER 2011<br/>Thanks CountryLady for posting a great recipe. -
I used fresh raspberries in this and it is so refreshing and delicious, with all this hot weather we have been having. I will be using this recipe a lot this summer! I will also be passing this one on to my sisters and mom and friends as I know they will love it too! Thanks Countrylady!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
