Christmas Punch
This punch is not only pretty – especially welcome for a holiday party – but flavorful as well. A very good nonalcoholic punch. Make plenty – it’ll go fast.

Punch (non alcoholic)
Hi there,
I just printed the recipe for making later-on. What is a pint of sherbet?
The ingredient is not in South Africa or maybe it is... any alternative I can use please?
Thank you for your time.
All the best,
Sandy, Johannesburg SA.
Sherbet
Sherbet is an American version of gelato; a pint is 2 cups, about 1/2 litre. Just use whatever size container of gelato comes close.
Sounds delicious,can't wait
