Many types of fruit will freeze well to make great icy treats for summer. Place small bunches of grapes in a container in the freezer. Take them out when you need snack or arrange them on a plate for elegant but easy dessert. Freeze bananas in their skins or peel and place in airtight bags before freezing. Remove from the freezer and slice the banana, or puree it in a blender for a treat similar to ice cream.
