HOW TO MAKE AN ICE RING
This is a GREAT way to make an ice ring for you punch, to keep it cold and tasty! By using punch instead of water your punch won't get diluted as it melts. If you want to make ice cubes use ice cube trays or styrofoam egg cartons. The preparation time is time to make each layer, and does not include the time to freeze each layer.

Steps:
- Layer one of the fruits and some of the punch (1" at a time) in a ring mold.
- Freeze each layer before adding the next layer.
- Layer with as many fruits as you want in your mold.
- When the ring mold is frozen solid, and ready to put in the punch bowl, sit mold in hot water for 1 minute. This will help to make it come out of the mold easily.
GOLDEN FRUIT PUNCH WITH ICE RING
This is a refreshing punch that isn't as sweet as most. My family loves the tart "wake-me-up" flavor. As an added bonus, this punch won't stain carpeting the way a red punch would! -Cindy Steffen, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

CITRUS ICE RING FOR PUNCH
This is the companion ice ring for Sparkling Party Punch (non-alcoholic), posted here at Recipezaar. I have, on occasion, replaced one lemon with a small orange to give it a very colourful look. Prep time includes overnight freezing, although this will last in the freezer for a few days.

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).

- To make the ice ring ahead of time, simply freeze it for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to use it, simply remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before placing it in the punch bowl.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use a loaf pan or a large bowl to make the ice ring. Just be sure to grease the pan or bowl before adding the citrus mixture.
- For a non-alcoholic punch, you can use sparkling water or ginger ale instead of rum.
- To make the punch ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a punch bowl and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve, simply add the ice ring to the punch bowl.
