Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained (juice reserved)
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups water, or as needed
- 2 green kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 gold kiwi, peeled and sliced
- Ice cubes (for filling gaps)
- 1½ cups green grapes
- Optional Additions:
- Fresh cranberries for a festive red color
- Sliced oranges or lemons
- Sliced strawberries
- Edible flowers
- Sprigs of rosemary for a festive touch
Instructions
- Rinse your bundt pan or ring mold with warm water and line it with clear plastic wrap.
- Place a layer of maraschino cherries along the bottom of the mold with mint leaves scattered between them.
- Add about ½ inch of water (with some cherry juice for color, if desired) and freeze for about 2 hours until solid.
- Once frozen, arrange sliced kiwis and half of the grapes on top and add another ½ inch of water. Freeze for 2 hours until solid.
- Add remaining fruits in an attractive pattern, fill with water leaving ¼ inch from the top, and freeze overnight until solid.
- To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold in warm water for about 30 seconds, place a serving plate on top, and flip.
- Place the finished ice ring in a punch bowl and serve your punch around it just before guests arrive.
Notes
- Use distilled or filtered water for clearer ice.
- Frozen fruit can be used but should be thawed and dried first.
- Your ice ring can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored wrapped in plastic wrap and a freezer bag.
