We celebrated Christmas with my extended family yesterday. With that event over, I look forward to a quiet New Year's. We're taking care of the boys for their mother, so I suppose we'll have a little "party." The cool thing about two and three-year-olds is that it doesn't require anything more than a couple of cookies or bowl of popcorn to create a gala occasion.
By the way, the punch I made for yesterday's gathering was good - so good, in fact, that I deem it a recipe worth sharing.
Holiday Slush
1 3 oz. pkg. lime or cherry Jello (depending on if you want red or green)
1 cup boiling water
1 quart pineapple juice
7 oz. ReaLemon lemon juice
7 cups water
2-1/2 cups sugar
- Melt Jello in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add remaining ingredients, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour into freezer containers (I used 2-gallon freezer bags) and freeze until slushy.
- When ready to serve, pour into punch bowl and add two 2-liter bottles of Sprite, 7-Up, or ginger ale to taste.
I used cherry Jello and doubled the recipe so that there would be enough to last throughout the afternoon. I didn't use as much carbonated beverage as recommended, only using two bottles of Sprite for the whole batch.
