Slushy Punch
INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 ripe medium banana, cut up
½ cup sugar
½ of a 6oz can (1/3 cup) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 1-liter bottle carbonated water or three 12-z cans lemon-lime soda, chilled
Finely shredded orange peel, optional

HOW TO PREPARE:
1. In a blender container combine pineapple juice, banana, sugar, orange juice concentrate, & lemon juice. Cover and blend until smooth. Stir in 1 1/3 cups water. Transfer to a 1 ½ or 2 quart glass baking dish. Cover and freeze overnight.

2. To serve, let mixture stand at room temperature about 20 minutes. To form slush, scrape a large spoon across frozen mixture; spoon the slush into a punch bowl. Slowly pour soda down side of bowl; stir gently to mix. If desired, garnish with orange peel. Makes about fourteen 4oz servings. Can double for a shower or party.
