We are doing a second round of "New Recipes Girls Night In" this week. The theme for this month was "Berries." I decided to make another punch recipe (since last month it went over really well!) and I found a recipe that uses STRAWBERRY jello in it. So it sort of abided by the "berry" theme. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Luscious-Slush-Punch/Detail.aspx
I really enjoyed this punch. It didn't keep its "slushy" texture very long, but it was yummy. I'd make this again!
This recipe makes a HUGE batch (serves 50!) so I definitely halved the recipe for our group of 11. The recipe below is the halved version.
1 cups white sugar
3 cups water
1 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored gelatin mix
1/2 of a 46 fluid ounce can pineapple juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 c orange juice
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
Directions
1.In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and strawberry flavored gelatin. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Freeze in a container or ziplock bag.
2.When ready to serve, place the frozen contents of one container in a punch bowl, and stir in 1 bottle of lemon-lime soda until slushy.
I found this review linked to the recipe, so I did this instead of just adding it completely frozen:
Pull the bag out of the freezer 2 hours before the party and mash the bag before adding to the punch bowl.
