A cold glass of refreshing punch really brightens a brunch. It's nice to serve a crisp beverage like this that's more spectacular than plain juice. With bananas, orange juice and lemonade, it can add tropical flair to a winter day. -Mary Anne McWhirter, Pearland, Texas Ingredients:
6 medium ripe bananas |
1 can (12 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed |
3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate |
3 cups warm water, divided |
2 cups sugar, divided |
1 can (46 ounces) pineapple juice, chilled |
3 bottles (2 liters each) lemon-lime soda, chilled |
orange slices, optional |
Directions:
1. In a blender, cover and process the bananas, orange juice and lemonade until smooth. Remove half of the mixture and set aside. Add 1-1/2 cups warm water and 1 cup sugar to blender; blend until smooth.
2. Place in a large freezer container. Repeat with remaining banana mixture, water and sugar; add to container. Cover and freeze until solid.
3. One hour before serving, remove punch base from freezer. Just before serving, place in a large punch bowl. Add pineapple juice and soda; stir until well blended. Garnish with orange slices if desired. Yield: 60-70 servings (10 quarts).
