Golden Fruit Punch with Ice Ring image

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

Holiday Punch Bowl Ice Ring image

A pretty ice ring in your punch bowl adds a festive touch to a holiday gathering. Think about one of the many punch recipes on the site, and how the individual parts of the ice ring will enhance your choice. This ice ring uses lots of red and green, with some bits of gold, thrown in for contrast. This is more of a craft than a dish, so use your imagination! If not using right away, place the frozen ice ring into a plastic bag and store in the freezer until ready to use.

Time P1DT2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained and juice reserved, divided
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, or as needed
2 cups water, or as needed
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 gold kiwi, peeled and sliced
ice cubes
1 ½ cups green grapes

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.

CITRUS ICE RING FOR PUNCH



Citrus Ice Ring for Punch image

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.

Time P1D

Yield 1 ice ring

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lemons
1 lime
6 maraschino cherries (drained well)
water

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).

Tips:

  • Prepare in Advance: It's best to start making the ice ring a day before serving to give it enough time to freeze properly.
  • Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan is ideal for creating the ice ring's shape, but you can also use a large bowl or mold.
  • Chill the Punch: Before assembling the ice ring, chill the punch so it doesn't melt the ice too quickly.
  • Layer the Ingredients: Layer the punch, fruit, and ice cubes in the mold, alternating between layers for a visually appealing effect.
  • Freeze Thoroughly: Freeze the ice ring for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it's solid before serving.
  • Unmold Carefully: When ready to serve, dip the mold briefly in warm water to loosen the ice ring, then invert it onto a serving platter.
