Luscious Slush Punch

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

This is a family favorite during the Summer. It is really easy to put together.

2 1/2 Cup white sugar
6 cups water
2 (3 oz) packages strawberry Jell-O
1 (46 oz.) can pineapple juice
2/3 Cup lemon juice
1 quart orange juice
2 (2 liter) Sprite or 7 Up

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water and Jell-O. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice and orange juice. Divide mixture in half and freeze in 2 separate containers.

When ready to serve, place the frozen contents of one container in a punch bowl and stir in 1 bottle of Sprite or 7 Up. This makes a lot of drink. Great for a big family gathering.

Cook's Note: I usually freeze mine in 2 jello ring pans. It looks really nice for a party. You can also freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and serve them individually.
