A Sure Sign Of Spring

A sure sign that spring is coming in the Philadelphia area is that the Rita's Water Ice opens for the season. They make home water ice from scratch with real ingredients, and boy is it good.

Last night I made our first trip to the local store to pick up our first batch. I usually get individual ones for each of us, but they have a special where if you buy two quarts you get one free, so I bought the two quarts. One Cherry, One Grape, and One Blueberry.

My personal favorite are Cherry and Wild Black Cherry. They also make gelati's, misto's, and blendini's.

If you are ever in the Philadelphia area in the spring, summer, or early fall, pick up a Rita's ice, you will not be disappointed.
