Fruit Punch

By Valarie

Ingredients

• 2 (6-ounce) cans frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 2 (6-ounce) cans frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
• 1 (48-ounce) can pineapple juice
• 3 cups water
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 pints strawberries, hulled
• 1 (1-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda (recommended: Sprite)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the orange juice, lemonade, and pineapple juice and stir well.

Bring 3 cups water and the sugar to a boil in a heavy saucepan and boil until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Add the syrup to the fruit juices.

Place the whole strawberries into a ring mold. Pour in enough fruit juice to fill the mold. Freeze. Refrigerate the remaining juice.

When ready to serve, pour the fruit juice into a punch bowl and add the soda. Float the strawberry ice ring in the punch.
