CHILL TIME

This one's often seen at outdoor wedding rehearsal dinners in the South. So gather 'round the punch bowl for good taste and good times!

What You'll Need

  • 1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 (6-ounce) can pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cup water
  • 2 liter ginger ale, chilled

What to Do

  1. In a blender, blend orange juice concentrate, pineapple juice, lemon juice, bananas, and sugar on high speed until bananas are puréed and mixture is thoroughly blended. Add water and blend well.
     
  2. Pour into a 9- x 13-inch baking dish, cover, and freeze 2 hours, or until mixture has frozen 1 inch in from sides of dish.
     
  3. Remove from freezer and mix well, being sure to blend ice crystals with remaining mixture.
     
  4. Just before serving, transfer to a punch bowl and add ginger ale, stirring carefully. Makes about 1 gallon.
     

Notes

This can also be made ahead of time by preparing the juice mixture and allowing it to freeze completely. Just remove it from the freezer 1 hour before serving and stir it to a slushy consistency. Combine with the ginger ale as above.
