When you get ready to make your punch thaw out the amount of fruit you need.
Break open the fruit and remove the inside portion with the flesh covered seeds and toss the rind. Place the pulp and seeds into a large container with about a third of the amount of water and sugar you will be using for the finished punch.
Mash the fruit and sugar with a potato masher to release the flavors and juices. I like to let this sit for a little while and then mash again to give the sugar time to help release more flavors.
Strain … lightly mashing the pulp covered seeds against the side of the strainer to get all of the juice. Add the remainder of the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the rest of the water and place in the refrigerator to chill before serving.
If serving right away just pour your punch over a glass of ice. By all means adjust the sugar to suit your taste.
