SLUSH PUNCH

Category: Beverages and Cocktails

3 1/2 cups sugar
6 cups water
1 (3 oz) box cherry jello and strawberry jello
1 quart pineapple juice and orange juice
2/3 cup bottled lemon juice
1 (2 liter) ginger ale, chilled

Mix together sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 3 minutes. Add jello, remover from heat and stir until jello dissolves.

Add fruit juices. Pour into a gallon size wide mount container and freeze.*

SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE SERVING: Remove punch from freezer to let thaw to a slush.

TO SERVE: Pour into very large punch bowl and add ginger ale. Float fruit slices on top of punch.

*I use gallon water or clean milk jugs to freeze punch. Use a sharp knife to cut around top of jugs to get slush out.

Makes 156 oz

Serving amounts depends on the size of cup you are using and if any other types of drinks are being served. It makes 156 oz. of punch so divide 156 by the oz. size of the glass you plan to use to determine how many servings you will get per batch.
