Iupe's Open House Punch.

Iupe's was a clothing store in Canton, MS, until it closed in 1995. I never visited the store, but I have had this punch, and it is divine. It works with any occasion. The only trick is that it really needs to be made the day before for the flavors to blend together.

Open House Punch

3 cups boiling water
1 3 oz. package Jell-O, any flavor (use the color that best matches the occasion)
1 & 3/4 cups sugar
1 46 oz. can pineapple juice
1 juice can of water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp. almond extract

Add Jell-O to boiling water and mix well. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add pineapple juice, water, lemon juice, and almond extract. Mix well. Pour into a gallon container and refrigerate. Shake well before serving.
