~This is the recipe that my Mother-in-LOVE made for my bridal shower...quite a few years ago now!
It became a HIT with my Mother and I. I'm posting the pic from GG's 90th birthday party!~
~Banana Punch~
Boil in the morning and COOL to room temp!
4 cups sugar (you could try a little less sugar, maybe 3 cups?... but I haven't tried it.)
4 cups water
* * * * * * * * *
Then mash 5 bananas with 2 teas. Fruit Fresh. (I do this in my Vitamix (blender.)
1 can (12 oz.) orange juice concentrate
1 can (12 oz.) lemonade juice concentrate
1 Lg. can of pineapple juice
Mix together everything and then freeze in a large container.
Set out around 2 hours before serving!
Add a 2 liter of Sprite or 7-up.
(I actually used nearly 2 2-liters of Sprite.)
If you serve this using small cups, you could possibly serve 24 people. I served this to 30 people, but I served my sweet tea too.
And as Always...ENJOY!

~On Tuesday evening of this week we invited our whole church over for a house service. There were some who couldn't come, but we had a good attendance with 30 of us present. After the good service I served refreshments. Here's our table before I got the drinks into their serving containers. ~
~When you are on the mission field it helps to be creative. For my "tea pitchers" I used 2 flower vases, and for my "punchbowl" (since I've NEVER seen them for sell here) I bought a
new FISH bowl! It works great! =) ~
~Kimberly made her yummy
Choc. Crinkle cookies for our dessert.~
~Everyone during service.~
~Jesus helped Bro. Jimmy as he preached! He challenged us that Jesus is coming back soon, and is coming back for a Bride (church) who
IS PREPARED...Not who is PREPARING!
May Jesus help each of us to be
PREPARED! ~
~Most of the kids sat on the stairs. ~
~Then after service I served them Skyline Chili (Pastor Jimmy's FAVORITE!). I made 5 packs of Skyline, and this HUGE pan was nearly full! (I forgot to take a pic of it before we starting serving, but you can see the line where it originally came up to.) ~
~Everyone LOVED it and came back for seconds and some came back for thirds. There wasn't much Skyline chili left by the time they got done. Like I mentioned above I served Banana punch and my sweet tea to drink.~
~Elijah and his good buddy David enjoying their Skyline.~
~Sis. Farly and Sis. Cindy were my faithful helpers serving the Skyline!~
~Jesus gave us a nice service and a wonderful evening with everyone.
( I was so happy that Jesus helped me to find this fun skirt at Goodwill while I was in TN.)~
