Preparation

Step 1

Working in batches if needed, combine the cans of grapefruit, citrus salad, oranges and sugar in a blender and blend for 30 seconds to combine.
Roughly chop the cherries and add the cherries and the juice to the mixture along with the lemon juice.
Spread the pineapple into the bottoms of two 9x13-inch baking dishes. Pour half of the pureed mixture into each of the dishes. Stir lightly to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen.
When ready to serve, chop the frozen mixture and place in punch cups. Top with lemon lime soda and a small scoop of lemon sorbet.
