Holiday Punch Bowl Ice Ring
A pretty ice ring in your punch bowl adds a festive touch to a holiday gathering. Think about one of the many punch recipes on the site, and how the individual parts of the ice ring will enhance your choice. This ice ring uses lots of red and green, with some bits of gold, thrown in for contrast. This is more of a craft than a dish, so use your imagination! If not using right away, place the frozen ice ring into a plastic bag and store in the freezer until ready to use.

Cook's Notes:
You don't have to use the maraschino cherry juice, you can just use water.
Sliced star fruit can be used in place of gold kiwi, if you can find it. Mint leaves simulate holly, but you can substitute rosemary twigs to suggest evergreen needles. Pomegranate arils would also be a nice addition.
When arranging the herb leaves and fruit, remember that anything touching the mold will be seen in the punch bowl. Imagine what you want your design to look like in the punch bowl and work out the design to your liking.
