This recipe is wonderful for wedding receptions, bridal teas, anniversaries, etc.

I know the white grape juice, Fresca is popular, but nothing beats good old-timey punch.

3 cups sugar

23 cups hot water

1 pkg. - 3 oz. strawberry jello

3 cups cold water

1 large can pineapple juice

1 small can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade

1/2 oz. (1 bottle) almond extract

1 to 2 bottles ginger ale

Dissolve sugar in 2 cups hot water.  Dissolve jello in 1 cup hot water. (Hey, save time and do it all together, I do).

Combine all ingredients except ginger ale.  Freeze.  It’s good to freeze in plastic ice cream buckets or something similar because you are going to thaw to slush stage when ready to use (I use a knife, etc. to get it slushy.  Be careful and don’t punch a hole in the plastic container.)

Put in punch bowl and add ginger ale when ready to serve.

**Note:  To change color of punch use the jello flavor desired.  Strawberry makes a light shade of pink.
