Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large heatproof bowl or pitcher, dissolve the cherry gelatin packages in 9 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 4 cups of water and 4 cups of sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
  3. Allow the sugar syrup to cool slightly, then stir in the pineapple juice, frozen orange juice concentrate, and lemon juice.
  4. Pour the fruit juice mixture into the dissolved gelatin and stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Pour the mixture into large plastic containers or a punch bowl that fits in your freezer. Freeze for about 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals and create a slushy texture.
  6. Just before serving, pour the ginger ale over the frozen slush to add fizz.
  7. Serve immediately in glasses while the punch is still slushy and cold.
