Christmas Cherry-Pineapple Punch
(I am writing this recipe assuming that no sugar-free products are used; therefore, sugar will be an ingredient. If you want an almost sugar-free drink, please follow the instructions on the video. Also, this recipe makes double the amount shown in the video.)
2 small packages cherry JELL-O
1 package cherry Kool-Aid
2 cups sugar
4 cups boiling water
6 cups water
2 large cans unsweetened pineapple juice
2 quarts (a 2-liter bottle) ginger ale
In a large punch bowl, dissolve 2 small packages cherry JELL-O, 1 package cherry Kool-Aid, and 2 cups of sugar in 4 cups boiling water. (If you do not have a large punch bowl, you can use large bowls, Dutch ovens, etc., and make the punch by halves, if necessary.) Add 6 cups water, 2 large cans unsweetened pineapple juice, and 2 quarts (a 2-liter bottle) of ginger ale. Stir completely. Chill in the refrigerator. You may store it in pitchers in the refrigerator after it is mixed together. Note: This makes a large amount of punch. You may need to cut the recipe in half, if you have space constraints. I only made half of the recipe in the video. Even though this is a large amount of punch, it will go very quickly, because it tastes great, and it is so refreshing! The whole family will love it! Plus, it is great for events, like receptions!

Why this Betty's Christmas Cherry-Pineapple Punch works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Pineapple.
Pineapple can fit a PCOS diet in small portions, but it is one of the sweeter fruits, so portion and pairing matter. Its natural sugar can raise blood glucose fairly quickly, especially when eaten on its own.Pineapple does offer vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain, an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties.
