 Watermelon Slush

2 cups of water

1/4 cup of sugar

12 ounce can of frozen fruit punch concentrate

1 Tablespoon of lemon juice

6 cups seeded watermelon cubes

2-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda or ginger ale

Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.  Boil gently, uncovered for three minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in fruit punch until dissolves.  Combine half of the lemon juice and half of the melon cubes in a blender.  Blend until smooth.  Repeat with the other half. Stir melon mixture into the fruit punch mixture.  Mix and pour into a freezer container.  Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours.  To serve scrape with a spoon to form slush.  Fill cups at least half full with slush.  Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda until cups are filled.
