Before I forget, a recipe: fruit punch
Apr. 25th, 2011 06:31 pmRecently I picked up some Welch's White Grape Cherry juice at Costco. I tasted it, furrowed my brow, and said, "This tastes a lot like fruit punch."
It is definitely a large part of fruit punch. It has white grape juice, cherry juice, apple juice and pear juice. Still, it was too sweet and lacked some flavor elements. I looked around for what would work.
This has very specific brands listed for two of the three components only because it has to do with juice and sugar ratios. Aside from that it is dead simple and can be mixed in a minute or two.
4 parts Welch's White Grape Cherry Juice
3 parts Kirkland Signature Cranberry Juice Cocktail - you could use Ocean Spray, but KS has three advantages: 1) it has less sugar; 2) it has more juice, and; 3) is is slightly less expensive.
1 part pineapple juice - I used canned, Goya since I had it in the house.
Total juice content is 77.5%.
I mixed this up and had my roommate try a sample. "This tastes just like Hawaiian Punch," she said, "... if it was made with actual food."
I meant to bring some to a party but never made it. Still, that's a story for another time.
