Summer Slush

Thank you to my good friend Christine for this great recipe. It's fun served at baby showers for baby girls because of it's great color.

4 c. sugar
1 small can orange juice concentrate, undiluted
1-48 oz. can pineapple juice
1/2 c. lemon juice
mashed strawberries...as much as you like
mashed bananas (very optional in my opinion. Bananas are meant to be eaten on their own only!)
strawberry soda
ginger ale

Mix sugar with 6 cups water in a medium saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves, take off the heat and let cool.

In a large 9x13-inch baking dish mix together the orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice & fruit, then add the sugar water when cooled. Mix together and place in the freezer overnight.

Let mixture thaw a little and scoop out into a serving bowl, add strawberry soda and ginger ale until it is slushy. Enjoy!

Brunch Punch

I like to serve this punch when I make Savory Ham-n-Swiss Breakfast Pie.

1-46 oz. can pineapple juice
3 c. orange juice
2 c. cranberry juice
1/3-1/2 c. powdered sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
1/4 c. lime juice

Stir together all ingredients and chill at least 2 hours. Stir just before serving.

Makes about 3 quarts.
