Dog Days of Summer

September 1st, 2008. Filed under: Nancy's Recipe Box.

The dog days of summer are about over now, but it’s still not too late to make up a batch of freezer punch.  I’m back digging through the memories in my recipe box.  Mom Otero gave me this recipe when I was in college in Joplin, Missouri.  She was one of the dorm moms at Ozark Bible College.

FREEZER PUNCH

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 packages Jello (any flavor)
  • 46 oz can pineapple juice
  • 6 oz Real Lemon
  • 1/2 oz almond extract
  • 14 cups water

Mix together the first two ingredients and boil until clear.  Then add the Jello.  Mix well before adding the rest of the ingredients.  After mixing, freeze.  Thaw and serve slushy.  Allow 4-5 hours to thaw if it’s frozen all in one piece.

    You mentioned Ozark Bible College. Is it located in Neosho, MO? If so, I went there YEARS ago for a semester (long story on why just 1 semester)

    It’s located in Joplin, MO. It merged with another Bible college and is now known as Ozark Christian College.
