Ingredients:
2 cups of diced chayote squash
¼ cup of Walden Farms Maple Syrup
1-2 tsp of apple pie spice
1 cup of water
1 IP Vanilla Drink
1 cup of water
½ cup of ice
Method:
In a small saucepan with a lid add, diced chayote, maple syrup, apple pie spice, and water. Bring ingredients to a simmer and cover. Stir every 10 minutes three times for a total of 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Mash or puree chayote.
Once cooled spoon into ice cube trays and freeze.
This will yield 2 cups of chayote cubes; I recommend divided into 1 cup portions and storing in freezer.
Smoothie:
In a blender place 1 cup of water, ½ cup of ice cubes, 1 package of vanilla drink mix, and 1 cup of chayote ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
Apple Pie Spice:
4 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground allspice
2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cardamom
¼ tsp ground cloves
Mix together ground spices and store in a glass jar.
