BANANA PUNCH

BANANA PUNCH

From an Awesome MOPS Mentor (Thanks Lisa)

Freeze Friendly

6 C. water

3 C. sugar

3 large ripe bananas

2 C. pineapple juice

16 oz. Can frozen orange juice concentrate

6 oz. Can frozen lemonade concentrate

2  (2 liter) bottles gingerale

Bring water and sugar to a boil, just until clear and sugar dissolves. (I dissolve the sugar in 2 cups of water, then add the other 4 cups later). Cool. Put bananas and pineapple juice in blender and blend until bananas are blended. (that was very redundant, but you know what I mean). Combine water, sugar water, bananas and pineapple juice, orange juice and lemonade. Pour into 2 one gallon sized zip-loc freezer bags and freeze. Remove from freezer about 3 hours before serving. When ready to serve, mash with potato masher in punch bowl. Pour chilled gingerale over frozen punch mix and serve (one 2 liter bottle to 1 one gallon bag frozen mix). Serves 20

I have served this punch for every special occasion in our family - graduation open houses, bridal showers, receptions, etc. It's great for using up overripe bananas, and great for keeping in the freezer until you need it.

What I think: I LOVE THIS! It is awesome

Freezer Directions: Frezze all you want in seprate zip lock bags and when ready to serve just add Ginger Ale.
