3 c. water
1 c. sugar
2 ripe bananas, cut up
3 c. pineapple juice
1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice
1 (6 oz.) can frozen lemonade
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 (28 oz.) bottle carbonated drink (Sprite or 7-Up)

In a 3 quart saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup gently, uncovered, for 3 minutes; remove from heat and cool.

Meanwhile, in a blender, combine cut up, ripe bananas and half of the unsweetened pineapple juice. Cover and blend until smooth. Stir banana mixture into cooled syrup. Stir in remaining pineapple juice, the thawed orange juice and lemonade concentrate and lemon juice. Turn fruit mixture into 13x9x2 baking dish. Freeze.

To serve: Remove from freezer and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. To form a slush, scrape spoon across the surface of the frozen mixture. Spoon into punch bowl. Slowly put in carbonated water (soda). Stir gently to mix. Garnish with orange slices or fresh mint leaves.
