Fall Recipes: Apple Harvest Punch

Well it is officially fall here in Northern Ohio and I couldn’t be happier about it. The windows are open, the knit sweaters are layered on, and I even have a candle or two lit. It means the welcome of fall fashion, fall leaves, and fall flavors (read: fall recipes and delicious fall baked goods).

I have two yummy fall recipes for you this weekend. One will be perfect for all of your entertaining into the holidays and the other, well, maybe more for a fun snack this weekend.

What You’ll Need: 

• 1 32 ounce bottle of Mott’s Apple Juice
• 1 can frozen berry juice**
• 1 liter sparkling soda (I used Fresca but Ginger Ale, 7UP or Sprite would work)
• 1 cup pulp-free orange juice

**Growing up we typically used cranberry juice but all I could find at Walmart when picking up groceries was mixed berry and it turned out delicious! I also love the deep red color it gives the punch.

What You’ll Do

• Combine the apple juice, orange juice, and frozen concentrate. Mix well.
• Pour in the soda.
• Add sliced apples on top for garnish if desired (favorite knife for cutting apples).
• Serve in a punch bowl (I love this one from amazon for under $25) or a pitcher (like this  modern one) 

^we broke out our punch bowl for the first time since we’ve been married (in my defense my mother had it until last summer when they drove out to Ohio…) – I love using wedding gifts and remembering the friends that gave it to us and our special day in general
