Slushy Punch

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups white sugar
• 6 cups water
• 1 (4 ounce) package wild strawberry gelatin
• 1 (4 ounce) package strawberry-banana gelatin
• 1 (46 ounce) can pineapple juice
• 2/3 cup lemon juice
• 1 quart orange juice (as pulpy as you prefer)
• 2 (2 liter) bottles carbonated lemon-lime beverage

Recipe

• 1 Combine sugar, water, and Jello powder in a large saucepan.
• 2 Boil for three minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 3 Remove from heat and stir in the fruit juices.
• 4 Divide mixture in half, and freeze overnight in two containers (I use two gallon-size freezer Ziplocs).
• 5 Half an hour before serving, remove one bag of slush mixture from the freezer and allow to thaw a bit (a night in the freezer will freeze it solid, you want to thaw it just enough to break it into a uniform slush once soda is added- no icebergs, please) Once mixture is broken up enough, empty bag into punch bowl and stir in one bottle of the soda until slushy.
