The Perfect Party Punch ...

To every thing there is a season, and springtime is the season of celebrations and parties ... graduation parties, bridal showers, wedding receptions, baby showers, family reunions.

And, of course, parties go hand in hand with food and drink. If you have an upcoming party on your calendar and need a punch recipe, you might consider this one. I think it's perfect for any occasion -- it's delicious, looks pretty, and is easy to make -- what more could you ask?

The Perfect Party Punch

Bring to boil:

1 3-oz Package Apricot Jello
1-1/2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Hot Water

Add:

2 Cups Ice Water

1/2-oz Almond Extract

To serve: Add 1 Quart Ginger Ale

That sounds wonderful! I'll have to file that one to use sometime. I'd imagine the apricot gives it quite an interesting flavor.

BTW...LOVE the new header....it just yells 'springtime'!

This is always such a hit at parties. I also use orange sherbet and ginger ale, too, for a quick and easy punch.
