Steps:
- Clear a spot in your freezer that is level and measures at least 14x14-inches.
- Place maraschino cherries in a pleasing design around the bottom of a 10- to 12-inch gelatin mold. Arrange mint leaves around the cherries, right-sides down (facing out and touching the mold).
- Combine maraschino cherry juice in a bowl with 2 cups water; pour 1/2 inch into the mold on top of cherries and mint, reserve remaining liquid. Place mold in the freezer until partially frozen, about 1 hour.
- Remove mold from the freezer and arrange green and gold kiwis on top of cherries. Use ice cubes and grapes to hold kiwi slices in place. Top with remaining ice and grapes. Carefully fill the mold with remaining water-juice mixture, and add more water as necessary to fill to the top edge of the mold. Place in the freezer until frozen solid, about 24 hours.
- To unmold the ice ring, fill a bowl that is larger than the mold with 1 inch of hot water. Place the mold into the hot water until ice ring separates from the mold, about 1 minute. Transfer ice ring into your punch bowl and serve immediately.

GOLDEN FRUIT PUNCH WITH ICE RING
This is a refreshing punch that isn't as sweet as most. My family loves the tart "wake-me-up" flavor. As an added bonus, this punch won't stain carpeting the way a red punch would! -Cindy Steffen, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

GRANDPA HARRY'S HOLIDAY PUNCH
My grandfather used to make a huge bowl of this punch every Christmas. The recipe has been in the family for generations and it is delicious! For best results, serve in a punch bowl with a block of ice. Refrigerate leftover (if there is any) in a covered pitcher.

- Layer the punch: Start with a layer of fruit and garnishes, then add a layer of punch. Repeat the layers until the mold is full.
- Freeze the punch ring: Once the mold is filled, place it back in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the punch to freeze completely.
- Serve the punch ring: To serve, place the punch ring on a serving platter and let it thaw for about 30 minutes. Garnish with additional fruit and herbs before serving.
