SPARKLING CRANBERRY PUNCH
There are a couple of other sparkling cranberry punch recipes here on zarr, but nothing at all like this one from *River Road Recipes* originally published by the Junior League of Baton Rouge in 1959. By 1980 the combined sales of RRR & RRR II (A 2nd Helping) had earned $1,000,000 for their community trust fund. I thought that was pretty awesome! I modified the recipe slightly to include 1/4 cup additional water + 1/4 cup dried cranberries. (Time has been estimated & does not include time to cool & then be well-chilled under refrigeration). *Enjoy*

Steps:
- 1. Make your floating ring ahead of time, I use a bundt pan because it has a pretty deep design on it.
- 2. Thaw the frozen topping so you can combine it with other ingredients.
- 3. Combine all floating ring ingredients.
- 4. Place in a freezer, and when it starts to set, give a stir to distribute the fresh fruit through out the mold.
- 5. When you are ready for your guests put punch together. I literally wait until every one is there to keep the sparkle in the punch.
- 6. Put the frozen orange pineapple in your punch bowl, then add Half the cranberry juice, and half the ginger ale, stir to melt the juice.
- 7. Add the rest of liquids as you desire, don't fill up all the way to make room for floating ring.
- 8. Put some hot water in your sink. Add the frozen ring and place in it just to loosen it enough to get it out of your mold.
- 9. Place frozen ring on tiop of your punch, add the sherbert in the middle, and TA DAH! You got one fabulous looking punch.
Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are plumper and have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the ginger. This will help to prevent the ginger from becoming stringy.
- Simmer the ginger and cranberries in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to extract the flavors from the ginger and cranberries.
- Strain the ginger and cranberries through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any solids from the punch.
- Add sparkling water and lime juice to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as vodka or rum, to make a cocktail.
- Serve the punch chilled. This will help to keep it refreshing.
