  Street vendors throughout Mexico's beach towns sell cold fresh fruit
  served in a plastic bag with bits of ice in it to keep the fruit
  chilled. This dessert is as take on that, as well as a refreshing end
  to any meal. Feel free to experiment by pouring a bit of tequila over
  the ice to create an instant margarita.

  LIME

  Prepare a Simple Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan set
  over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  Remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

  Add the Lime Juice and Freeze: Pour the simple syrup and lime juice
  in a 9 by 11-inch nonreactive baking pan and stir in the lime zest.
  Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

  After 1 hour, stir the mixture well, using a fork. Return to the
  freezer for another hour, then stir again. Allow the mixture to
  freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight (it is not necessary to
  continue stirring after you have done it twice).

  Serve: Remove the pan from the freezer and allow it to sit at room
  temperature for about 5 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the fruit ice
  and serve it in a small bowl.

  WATERMELON

  Prepare a Simple Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan set
  over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  Remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

  Puree the Watermelon and Freeze: Puree the watermelon chunks (it is
  fine if small seeds are still attached) in a blender until smooth.
  Pour the simple syrup, lime juice, and watermelon puree in a 9 by
  11-inch nonreactive baking pan and stir well. Cover the pan with
  plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

  After 1 hour, stir the mixture well, using a fork. Return to the
  freezer for another hour, then stir again. This time allow the
  mixture to freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight (it is not
  necessary to continue stirring after you have done it twice).

  Serve: Remove the pan from the freezer and allow it to sit at room
  temperature for about 5 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the fruit ice
  and serve it in a small bowl.

  PINEAPPLE

  Prepare a Simple Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan set
  over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  Remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

  Puree the Pineapple and Freeze: Puree the pineapple chunks in a
  blender until smooth. Pour the simple syrup and pineapple puree in a
  9 by 11-inch nonreactive baking pan and stir well. Cover the pan with
  plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

  After 1 hour, stir the mixture well using a fork. Return to the
  freezer for another hour, then stir again. This time allow the
  mixture to freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight (it is not
  necessary to continue stirring after you have done it twice).

  Serve: Remove the pan from the freezer and allow it to sit at room
  temperature for about 5 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the fruit ice
  and serve it in a small bowl.

  COOKING NOTES

  TECHNIQUES: Making Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is the name given to
  sugar dissolved in water. It is not enough to just stir some sugar in
  water; it has to be lightly heated so that the sugar actually
  dissolves. This is done to avoid a gritty texture.

  ADVANCE PREPARATION: This is definitely a recipe that must be prepared
  ahead of time because the ices need several hours to freeze properly.
  After the ices have been frozen, they can be scraped, placed in
  airtight containers, and frozen until needed-the texture will be
  fine. The frozen ices can be kept in the freezer for a few weeks.

  If you are keeping your ices frozen, prevent the ice from absorbing
  flavors from the freezer by completely wrapping the storage
  containers with plastic wrap. This will ensure an airtight
  environment.
