Fruity Strawberry Punch by Cassie DuBois Hansen

Fruity Strawberry Punch

1 cup white sugar

6 cups water

2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix

1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice

2/3 cup lemon juice

1 quart orange juice

2 (2 liter) bottles lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage (gingerale also works!)

1. Bring the sugar, water, and strawberry flavored gelatin to a boil in a large saucepan; boil for 3 minutes. Stir in the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Divide mixture into 2 separate containers (I use 4 to 6 larger Tupperware containers and divide the liquid evenly…) and freeze (I like to freeze it long enough for it to have a “slushie” consistency, about 4-6 hours OR freeze for however long but then let it thaw in the refrigerator a little bit starting the morning I plan to use it).
2. Combine the contents of half of the containers with 1 bottle of the lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage in a punch bowl; stir until slushy. Repeat with remaining portions as needed.
