So I currently buy Minute Maid frozen lemonade, but I don't like that it contains high fructose corn syrup. This means I can't serve lemonade to my friend who's allergic to corn - but mostly, I just hate the stuff. Has anyone ever seen store-boughten frozen lemonade without HFCS? Thanks, Anne Tue Oct 09 17:13:35 -0700 2007 12541 AnneInMpls 1 3020307 If you can find an organic brand, it won't have HFCS. Tue Oct 09 20:35:23 -0700 2007 3019749 10159 Ruth Lafler 2 3020508 Great tip - thanks! An online search turned up Cascadian Farms frozen lemonade concentrate, which seems to be fruit-juice-sweetened. I shall investigate further at the local Whole Foods.

It might be a seasonal item, though. Wed Oct 10 04:56:19 -0700 2007 3019749 109573 coney with everything 2 3022761 They also have frozen lemonade concentrate without HFCS.

Thu Oct 11 22:41:56 -0700 2007 3022761 12460 Chowpatty 4 3029144 I'm in Michigan and the TJ frozen has HFCS here too.

They're pretty good too, especially if you dilute them 50-50 with water.

You can use table sugar, but it will be harder to dissolve in cold water. Its fast, it doesn't contain HFCS, and it tastes better than frozen concentrate. Fri Oct 12 13:13:30 -0700 2007 3019749 22220 Kelli2006 2 3029910 I'm actually looking for the frozen concentrate. It's easier to store, long term (we don't drink lemonade very fast). And I use it in my pseudo margaritas, too - I just scoop some out with a spoon and dump it in the shaker. So far, the organic Cascadian Farms concentrate looks like my best bet. Anne Fri Oct 12 15:02:31 -0700 2007 3029482 12541 AnneInMpls 1 3030964 Email Minute Maid and maybe if enough of us do it they will stop using HFCS. Richie Sat Oct 13 03:26:13 -0700 2007 3019749 10646 javaandjazz 1 3033761 Just make sure its corn free in other ways too- a lot of lemonade or even lemon juices have citric acid made from corn added for tartness. I don't know how carefully your friend has to be with their corn allergy, so you might want to ask first. Sun Oct 14 14:46:30 -0700 2007 3019749 117958 anniemax 2 3033764 OMG - citric acid comes from corn?!?!?!?!? It never ends, does it? Thanks for the tip.

The only good thing is it sure cuts out all the junk food & processed food...except for those dang potato chips I found are potatoes, cottonseed oil & salt-lol Sun Oct 14 17:01:17 -0700 2007 3033764 117958 anniemax
