Cran-Apple Lemonade Punch

Does that just make you pucker or what? Is sounds so tart but it's not. It's quite tasty really! This is a variation of Summer Slush in the fam cookbook - that's more of a slush this is a punch. I used our beverage jar (with the cute little spout that's already starting to leak) and decided it would be best in a punch bowl because it needs to be stirred now and again or the slushy ice separates to the top and it's not as fabulous.



Cran-Apple Lemonade Punch

1 12oz can frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 12oz can apple juice concentrate
1 12oz can cranberry juice concentrate
1 C water
8 C crushed ice*
Lemon slices, optional

Combine all ingredients, except the ice and lemon slices, in a blender (you'll most likely have to do two batches) and blend until combined. Add the ice in small batches and blend until slushy.

Stir everything together in a big punch bowl. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.


*If you have a blender that actually works and will blend more than just the bottom 1/4" of what's in the jar then you can crunch up the ice nice and small to make it slushy. If not start with crushed ice and just blend some of it up with the rest of the ingredients.
