Aunt Josie’s Punch

We make 1 or 2 batches of this punch every Thanksgiving and sometimes on Christmas. The original recipe called for Raspberry Flavor Aid or Kool-Aid instead of cranberry-raspberry juice, but since the Flavor Aid one is no longer available and Kool-Aid only offers blue raspberry (which turns the punch gray), we opted for cranberry-raspberry juice instead. It’s been a delicious change.

And of course most drinks are naturally gluten free–just like this one. 🙂

A perfect carbonated punch for Thanksgiving or parties.

Ingredients

  • 2 Qt. bottle Cranberry-Raspberry Juice
  • 12 oz. can frozen Pink Lemonade (undiluted)
  • 2 liter bottle Diet Sprite/7 Up
  • Ice

Directions

Mix juice and lemonade. Add soda and ice right before serving.


Sausage Dip

Whenever we take this to parties, it always gets eaten quickly. Just bring the chips or cucumber slices, and you’ve got a great appetizer for any Super Bowl Party, New Year’s Party, or Church potluck. It does tend to get pretty thick, so you may eventually need to add some water or milk.

And hurray, it’s naturally gluten free! Just serve it with naturally gluten free tortilla chips.
