Best Fruit Filled Ice Ring Recipes

CITRUS ICE RING FOR PUNCH

Steps:

• It is best if the lime is as close in size to the lemons as possible.
• Cut lemons and lime in half lengthwise; with cut side down, cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• You will need a ring mold, preferably the kind with grooves in the bottom-- I use my tupperware jello mold and it's perfect.
• With the rind edge down, stand slices up around circle-- 1 lime, 2 lemon, 1 cherry, 2 lemon, all close together.
• Repeat five more times.
• Pour in enough water to be 1/2-inch deep.
• Freeze.
• When frozen, pour in an inch more water; freeze.
• When frozen, repeat.
• Keep doing this until mold is full.
• The reason you do this in stages is to prevent the fruit from floating.
• To unmold, run cold water over the bottom; it will then slip out.
• Place round side up in punch-- preferably Sparkling Party Punch (non-alcoholic), posted as a separate recipe here at Recipezaar(#24691).

HOW TO MAKE AN ICE RING

Steps:

• Layer one of the fruits and some of the punch (1" at a time) in a ring mold.
• Freeze each layer before adding the next layer.
• Layer with as many fruits as you want in your mold.
• When the ring mold is frozen solid, and ready to put in the punch bowl, sit mold in hot water for 1 minute. This will help to make it come out of the mold easily.
