Punch Ice Ring Recipes

Steps:

• Clear a spot in your freezer that is level and measures at least 14x14-inches.
• Place maraschino cherries in a pleasing design around the bottom of a 10- to 12-inch gelatin mold. Arrange mint leaves around the cherries, right-sides down (facing out and touching the mold).
• Combine maraschino cherry juice in a bowl with 2 cups water; pour 1/2 inch into the mold on top of cherries and mint, reserve remaining liquid. Place mold in the freezer until partially frozen, about 1 hour.
• Remove mold from the freezer and arrange green and gold kiwis on top of cherries. Use ice cubes and grapes to hold kiwi slices in place. Top with remaining ice and grapes. Carefully fill the mold with remaining water-juice mixture, and add more water as necessary to fill to the top edge of the mold. Place in the freezer until frozen solid, about 24 hours.
• To unmold the ice ring, fill a bowl that is larger than the mold with 1 inch of hot water. Place the mold into the hot water until ice ring separates from the mold, about 1 minute. Transfer ice ring into your punch bowl and serve immediately.

Steps:

• It is best if the lime is as close in size to the lemons as possible.
• Cut lemons and lime in half lengthwise; with cut side down, cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• You will need a ring mold, preferably the kind with grooves in the bottom-- I use my tupperware jello mold and it's perfect.
• With the rind edge down, stand slices up around circle-- 1 lime, 2 lemon, 1 cherry, 2 lemon, all close together.
• Repeat five more times.
• Pour in enough water to be 1/2-inch deep.
• Freeze.
• When frozen, pour in an inch more water; freeze.
• When frozen, repeat.
• Keep doing this until mold is full.
• The reason you do this in stages is to prevent the fruit from floating.
• To unmold, run cold water over the bottom; it will then slip out.
• Place round side up in punch-- preferably Sparkling Party Punch (non-alcoholic), posted as a separate recipe here at Recipezaar(#24691).
