Just the Recipe – Pink Sparkling Wine Festive Fruit Salad (Punch)
Canning Jars

Family recipe. Grandma wanted to set a good Christian example and wasn’t much of a drinker, so I never tasted this until I was an adult. This functions as a punch, far more than the salad she called it on her recipe card. She wasn’t fooling us.

Servings: 20 (1 Cup) Calories: 155 per serving Equipment: Large punch bowl. 2 qt round bowl to freeze sherbet, stirring implement.

  • 1 container (generally 1.75 qt) rainbow Sherbet
  • Jarred Citrus Salad, large. Generally 64oz.
  • Frozen Strawberries, 32 oz bag
  • 1 C green Grapes, seedless
  • 1 bottle Pink Sparkling Wine, 750 mL bottle.

    ~~~
  1. This will be served in a large fancy punchbowl. Find a small bowl to slightly melt and then mold the sherbet into the smaller bowl. Re-freeze for a few hours.
  2. Right before serving, mix the fruit and place in the large punchbowl. Include juices.
  3. Upend the sherbet into the center of the punch bowl.
  4. Pour 1 bottle of pink sparkling wine over the sherbet. Add the grapes to the punchbowl.
  5. Serve right away with a ladle. Will be chilled for service.

Bon Appetit!
