We have all seen the commercial. One woman pouring a familiar red liquid and the other commenting on the High Fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in it. It sent the blogosphere a flutter when first airing, infuriating many - myself included. The "Sweet Surprise"? There may be mercury in your HFCS laden liquid. All other food listing it as an ingredient too, which seems to be just about everything these days. All the more reason to make your own.

This week at the Green Phone Booth, I share a simple recipe for a sweet HFCS-free summer treat: Strawberry Ice.
