(A Superb Wedding Punch!)

PARTY FRUIT PUNCH


ingredients

4 large cans pineapple juice, unsweetened
1 large can grapefruit juice, unsweetened
1 large can frozen lemonade, diluted
1 large can frozen orange juice, diluted
2 small cans frozen limeade, diluted
4 to 5 drops peppermint extract
2 large cans crushed pineapple, undrained
2 Tbsp. grenadine syrup, ginger ale or Sprite
4 c. sugar

preparation

Mix all ingredients together (except ginger ale or Sprite) in a very large container. Stir until sugar is dissolved. (Sugar may be omitted if you feel that some you will be serving are diabetic!) Pour into 5 to 6 five quart plastic buckets. (Ice cream buckets are excellent for freezing.) Put in freezer. Serves 150 to 200.

When ready to serve, add 2 bottles ginger ale (or 2 liters Sprite) to the bucket of punch. Take out of freezer 3 to 4 hours before serving. This is a bright yellow punch; can be poured over 1 quart pineapple sherbet for a lighter, frothy look. Will be a slush.

For Green Punch: Add 1 quart lime sherbet and a few drops green food coloring. Add slowly and stir to keep it light in color.

For Red Punch: Add 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen, sliced strawberries and few drops red food coloring.
