"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This makes 80 cups @ 16 cups per gallon. Each person always wants several cups, so only plan to serve about 20-25 people.
The kids always like the slush it makes at the bottom of the container.(Us adults do too.) Fun for a family outing!!
