Can I use fresh fruit instead?

You can use fresh fruit if you wish. I use frozen fruit because the pieces of fruit work as ice cubes without watering the punch down. As the fruit melts it adds wonderful flavor to the punch.

Can I use a punch bowl?

Yes, you can make this in a punch bowl, pitchers, or fancy glasses.

How did you portion the fruit and punch?

I filled my jars full of the frozen fruit. It took 8 oz of frozen fruit to fill them full, but works just as well to use 4 oz of fruit per cup or glass. If you use 8 oz of fruit per serving you will have enough water punch for one refill.

Can this drink be made ahead of time?

Yes, I usually make these several hours ahead of time because I like the flavor to really blend and the punch turns a beautiful red pink color!

Notes

You can use fresh fruit in this recipe. I prefer frozen fruit because it doubles as ice cubes without watering down the punch.
This makes 4-8 individual servings. The recipes makes 2 quarts of water punch to be poured over 32 ounces of frozen fruit. If you are wanting a lot of fruit per cup or glass this makes 4 servings which comes out to 8 oz fruit per glass with enough water left after the initial fill up for a one refill. If you divide the fruit up into 8 glasses you will need the entire 2 quarts for one fill up.
