Easy Party Punch
Sorry, there is no photo on this one, but believe me, it's got a great presentation in a clear pitcher (my favorite!), and always goes over really well.
Here's what you need:
1 can frozen limeade (or you could use lemonade, but it will be sweeter)
1 bag of frozen mixed berries (I usually use Dole, because that's the only one I can easily find, but you could use just raspberries, or blackberries, or...!)
1 2L of Sprite
water
In your pretty, clear pitcher, dump in the limeade concentrate. Put in 1-2 cans of water. The amount of water depends on your taste, and how sweet you like the punch. Stir until it's thawed and mixed, and pour in the bag of frozen berries. Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with Sprite. Stir, and serve.
As the punch sits, it will turn darker and darker pink from the berries, but it starts out a light pink.
Enjoy!

Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate
One of my favorite things to do is pick fresh food. Today I picked lots of strawberries and canned them into a delicious juice. This juice is great for a hot summer day.
Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate
6 cups hulled strawberries
4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cups of granulated sugar
Makes about 7 pints
1. Puree the strawberries in a blender. Fresh squeeze the lemon juice (a juicer makes it go faster).
2.Combine lemon juice, sugar, and strawberries, heat to 190 degrees Fahrenheit over low heat, this enables the sugar to melt.
3. Ladle into hot jars leaving 1/4" head space, wipe rim with damp cloth. Screw lid and band onto jar.
4. Process jars for 15 minutes in boiling water, making sure water completely covers the jars.
5. Let cool in place 24 hours, make sure it has sealed by pressing down on the top of the can, the lid should not pop back up. Label the jars.
6. When ready to serve mix concentrate with 1 pint water.
This recipe came out well for me. It tastes nice and fresh, but there are a few things I would do differently.
-I used half fresh squeezed lemon juice and bottled juice. I would recommend only using fresh squeezed lemon juice. The bottled juice leaves and aftertaste.
-I would try juicing the strawberries instead of pureeing them, leaving a little pulp for taste in the juice.
