Grape Ice

1 1/3 cup sugar
4 cups grape juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 cups warm water
1 cup orange juice

Stir sugar and warm water together until sugar is dissolved. Add the other juices and freeze in a container with a lid. When frozen, chop with a fork. Freeze again until ready to serve. It is easier to chop ahead of time and have it ready.

Holiday Punch

-Heather Jordan

4 cups cranberry juice
4 cups pineapple juice
1/3 cup hot tamales or red hots candy
1 cinnamon stick

that's it!

The Directions.

Combine juices in your crockpot, and add hot tamales or red hots. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4-5. Stir. The candy will pretty much dissolve, leaving just a hint of cinnamony-flavor. This serves 6.

Ladle into mugs, garnishing with an extra cinnamon stick if desired.
