Party Punch

One afternoon a few weeks ago, I helped to serve at a funeral luncheon at our church. One of my friends, who was in charge of the luncheon, made up a beautiful and delicious punch for the guests. She explained that it was a recipe that her late mother-in-law was known for and graciously shared it with me. I hope to use it in the future - it would be lovely for a shower of some sort. Not only is it pretty and refreshing, but the ingredients are simple and inexpensive compared with many other punches.

Party Punch

Make up a simple sugar syrup: Bring 2 C. sugar added to 1 quart of water to a boil; allow to cool. When cool, combine the mixture with a thawed 12 oz. can of 100% orange juice concentrate and a thawed 6 oz. can of lemonade concentrate. After combining, add enough iced water to make a total of 6 qt. of punch. The sugar syrup and thawed juices can be made up ahead of time, and the iced water added right before serving.
