La Piragua recipe:

- 1 cup fruit

- 1 cup sugar

- 1 cup water

- Silver rum of choice

Make the syrup (w/ the whole fruit):

Remove fruit peel, seeds, and dice into smaller chunks. Combine fruit, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Cook until sugar is fully dissolved and fruit has softened (~10 min). Remove from heat and let cool completely. Add mixture to blender and puree until smooth.

Make the syrup (w/ just the fruit juice):

Combine juice and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Add peels and cook until mixture has reduced to a thick syrup, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Make the piragua:

Combine the syrup and rum in a 2:1 ratio. Using a blender, food processor, or shaved ice machine, crush the ice until it is a fine, powdery texture. With a wooden spoon, scoop the shaved ice into a small bowl or margarita glass. Pour enough syrup over top to saturate the ice.
