Lucious Slush Punch

I've made this for two parties and it was really good. The first time I didn't freeze and was ready to go. The 2nd time it froze solid and took awhile to defrost. I'm not sure what the difference was but it was definetely good. I used fruit punch instead of orange juice because that's what I had to use up.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups white sugar 6 cups water 2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix 1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice

2/3 cup lemon juice 1 quart orange juice 2 (2 liter) bottles lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

Directions:

1.	Bring the sugar, water, and strawberry flavored gelatin to a boil in a large saucepan; boil for 3 minutes. Stir in the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Divide mixture into 2 separate containers and freeze.
2.	Combine the contents of 1 container with 1 bottle of the lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage in a punch bowl; stir until slushy. Repeat with remaining portions as needed.
