Banana Slush Punch

This punch is phenomonal!! I recommend that you make this for any party or shower. It was such a huge hit. I personally drank like five cups and everyone else kept coming back for refills. It is refreshing, sweet and fruity. My mom actually made this punch last weekend for my grandmother's 75th birthday party. I talked her into giving me the recipe and letting me post it on my blog.

Banana Slush Punch

Ingredients:

4 cups granulated sugar

6 cups water

1-46 oz. can pineapple juice

46 oz. orange juice

5 fresh bananas, mashed

1/2 cup lemon juice

Three 2 liters gingerale

Directions:

In medium saucepan, add sugar and water. Bring to boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat & cool completely.

In a large bowl, combine pinapple juice, orange juice, mashed bananas & lemon juice. Add sugar syrup, once cooled, and stir well. Divide evenly into three 6 cup freezer containers (you may have a little left over) leaving 1/2 inch at the top for expansion. Freeze containers overnight.

About one hour prior to serving, dump the contents of one frozen container into your punch bowl. Pour one 2 liter over the frozen banana mixture.

You will use one 2 liter per frozen container. Makes about 2 1/2-3 gallons.
