This quick and easy fruit treat is made even easier by keeping a can of pears right in the freezer. There’s no danger of the can bursting and it makes the pears instantly ready to purée with some juice and soda into a nutritious and delicious frosty slush. It’s ideal when a summer heat blast wilts the little ones and delightful any time you want a refreshing break. Leftovers can be refrozen and scooped as an Italian ice.
