Luscious Slush Punch

This is the recipe from Christmas Eve...

2-1/2 cups white sugar
6 cups water
2 (3 oz) packages strawberry flavored jello
1 (46 oz) can pineapple juice
2/3 c. lemon juice
1 quart (4 cups) orange juice
2 bottles Sprite or 7-Up

• Bring the sugar, water, and jello to a boil in a large saucepan; boil for 3 minutes.  Stir in the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice.  Divide mixture into 2 separate containers and freeze.
• Combine the contents of 1 container with 1 bottle of Sprite in a punch bowl; stir until slushy. Repeat with remaining portions as needed.

Note:  I cut the frozen juice into cubes so it would turn to slush faster.
