We absolutely LOVE this sauce. It adds a certain zing to homemade quesadillas that was previously missing. I thought it was a bit too sweet but the husband thought it was perfect. I will probably use 2 teaspoons of sugar next time instead of the three teaspoons that the recipe originally called for. We like a lot of sauce on our quesadillas, and also use large tortillas when we make them, so there's no way this amount would cover sixteen quesadillas. I think that we made about twelve or fourteen though with the sauce before we used it all.

Snow Cone Syrup
Snow Cone Syrup/Shaved Ice Syrup
3/4 cup water*
3/4 cup sugar*
1 packet unsweetened "koolaid" OR 1-2 tsp. flavored extract
Heat water and sugar together until the sugar is completely dissolved. This only takes a few minutes. Once that is done, mix in the koolaid or flavored extract. Allow to cool, and then use it for your shaved ice or slushee mix.
*The original recipe that I came across said to mix 1 cup of water and 2 cups of sugar with 1 packet of koolaid. For me, this was just WAY too much sugar for me to even consider making it. I made it with the proportions listed above and it was absolutely perfect. Sweet, but not rot your teeth out sweet.
