Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

1 1/4 C orange juice
1 small banana, peeled and quartered
2 C frozen sliced strawberries

Place all ingredients in blender in order listed; blend on high until smooth.  Serve immediately.

Russian Punch

Bring to boil: 5 quarts water & 3 cups sugar
Add: 1 (16 oz) can frozen orange concentrate & 1 (6 oz) can frozen lemonade

Make a spice bag (cheesecloth or porous fabric tied with a string) containing 1 tsp whole cloves & 1 tsp cinnamon.

Place spice bag in the punch and bring it to boil. Then lower heat to a simmer and leave spice bag in while it simmers (or while in the refrigerator before heating) for best "seasoning" of the punch. Serve hot.

I had this at a Relief Society meeting the other night and it was very good.
