This is really delicious! My brother gave me this recipe ( he's a recipe addict also!)..I've tried many punches and I can honestly say that this is the best Christmas punch I have ever tasted. My brother told me he borrowed this recipe from a "Southern Living" cookbook he got for a gift years ago ...If you take the time out to make this punch you will not be disappointed! :)








Christmas Punch

What you'll need :

Large Punch Bowl
Large Plastic Bowl (same size as the punch bowl)


2 cups sugar
6 cups water ( taste better with bottle water)
2 1/2 cups of orange juice
1/2 cups of pineapple juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 (10 oz) packages of frozen strawberries (thawed)

(sometimes you may only find 16 oz of strawberries, i've used two 16 0z packages before & it works out fine , just make sure you use at least 20 oz of frozen strawberries)

2 liter bottle of chilled 7-up or sprite ( it also taste great with Sierra Mist)

In the large pot ( the type of pot you might use for stew or soup) heat up 6 cups of water with sugar to a boil, make sure the sugar is dissolved,add strawberries,turn off heat (remember, your not cooking with the heat, just dissoving the sugar) add orange juice,pineapple juice & lemon juice & stir just to mix it up. When it's cooled down a bit pour into a large plastic bowl. Place in your freezer & let it freeze overnight. Remove from freezer 30 minutes before you serve it then grab an ice pick or a dull knife & knock big fist size chunks off & place the frozen chunks in the punch bowl. Then pour a two liter bottle of 7-up ( or sprite or sierra mist) over the punch ice chunks in the punch bowl ( you should be able to empty the whole bottle of soda into the punch bowl without over flowing it) Stir the punch up gently just to make it a bit slushy then serve.

Enjoy!
