Punch it up

Here’s a punch recipe my Wonder Woman glommed onto at a teacher luncheon, slightly edited with a third world county “flavor”:

Ingredients:
3oz package Jello (sugared or artificially sweetened, your choice)
One or two 2-litre bottle of Sprite (the pop, not some fairy, OK?)
[N.B. the recipe I was handed had no amounts for the pop]

Method:
Dissolve the Jello (strawberry-banana or your choice) in 2C boiling water as per package directions.
Add 1 can (size not given–assume large) Dole Pineapple juice (or better if you have a fav)
1 can water equal to pineapple juice
[N.B.–I’d have a can of crushed or chunk pineapple handy for later if it were me]
Stir. Freeze for 48 hrs. Thaw three hours and chunk it up with a large fork.
Serve in punch bowl with Sprite. [Add pineapple chunks or slices if you want–I would.]

I imagine this would work as well served from a pitcher on a hot summer’s evening as an accompaniment to a barbeque meal on the deck.
