Jello Punch. . .

This is a family favorite...

Jello Punch
Read through before making

1 large pkg. jello that will mix well with pineapple,
(lime, raspberry & strawberry are good picks)
3/4 c. sugar
1 large can pineapple juice frozen for at least 24 hrs.
2 liters 7-Up or Sprite, chilled

When ready to assemble:
Mix jello by directions (do not add the cold water yet)
Add the sugar to the jello & hot water stir to dissolve jello powder & sugar
Add the cold water and stir, set aside for a minute
Place frozen pineapple juice in punch bowl and mash a bit
Add the jello to the bowl
Add the chilled soda.

This recipe freezes pretty well but can't be kept too long.

Enjoy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you I have been looking for this one. I think we used to have it with the lime jello the most when we were kids and had a get together. Do you think you doubled it? Did one batch used to fit in your big punch bowl?

Yes, double it,(most people don't drink from the small punch cups) you'll need to store some in the fridge for refills to the main bowl.
This is made even better with the addition of a complimenting sherbet or vanilla ice cream. Of course that really shoots up the BG so be careful.
