Perfect Punch


A wonderful colleague and friend of mine shared her delicious punch recipe with me (Thanks, K!). I made the punch for a very well-attended baby shower and it was quite a success. Next time I will take pictures.

Ingredients:
1/2 cups sugar
4 cups water
1/4 cup real lemon juice (or 3 tsp of lemon juice from a plastic lemon)
2 quarts pineapple juice
2 quarts cranberry juice
3 tbs almond extract
2-4 liters ginger ale
Fruit slices/berries to garnish

Directions:
Bring sugar & water to a boil until sugar is dissolved, making a simple syrup.
Remove from heat and add juices & almond extract. Freeze in a bundt cake pan with sliced fruit/berries.
When ready to serve, run hot water over the bundt pan until frozen mixture slides out.
Serve in a punch bowl, adding desired amount of ginger ale.
Turns into a delicious and beautiful slushy punch.

Recipe fills two deep bundt pans.
