SPARKLING BERRY PUNCH----HOLIDAY DRINK

1 Can (6oz) frozen concentrated lemonade
1/2 Cup water
1 Package (10oz) thawed raspberries or strawberries in syrup
1 Bottle (1L) 7up chilled
1 Bottle (750 ML) champagne chilled
Raspberry or Lemon sherbet (optional)
**** you can use sparkling apple cider instead of champagne ****
Combine concentrated lemonade and water. Add choice of fruit, 7UP, and champagne. Serve in punch cups. Garnish with choice of sherbet or fresh mint, if desired. Makes 24 servings.
If your place this in a punch bowl, I would use non-melt floating ice cubes. If anyone knows where to purchase these, please write and let us pass this on to others, Jackie, and myself. This will keep punch cold without watering it down. I would make this punch just before your ready to serve (last minute) . Serve with choice of sherbet and no ice is needed.

I had an early call from Jackie, her husband Bill was taken to the hospital during the night. Please keep both of them in your prayers. Thank you!!!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
