: I need a simple practical non-alcoholic punch recipe to serve at a birthday open house for my 80 year old Mother-in law. We plan to serve about 100 people.

Jeanne: This recipe is deliciously refreshing and full of flavour.

1- 12 ounce can of pink lemonade (thawed but cold)
1- 14 ounce can of crushed pineapple (puree in blender)
1- 15 ounce can of frozen strawberries (thawed but cold)
2- 750ml bottles of gingerale
ice

Puree pineapple in blender and place pineapple with juice and other ingredients in large punch bowl with ice.

You'll have to increase the quantities for your large gathering...but that should not change the flavour or consistency.

Enjoy and good luck with your open house...and Happy 80th to your Mother-in-law!
