From the kitchen of Carly

A showstopping frozen ring studded with pear wedges and apple slices that float in crystalline ice. Dunk it into punch for a stunning centerpiece that keeps drinks cold without diluting them. Simple, elegant, and practically foolproof.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 12 green pears
  • 12 cored red apples

Instructions

  1. 1. Slice 2 green pears into 1/2" wedges and lay skin side down in a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan. Line side of pan with overlapping apple rings from 2 cored red apples. Add water to cover pears by about 1/2" (about 2 cups) and cover about 1/2" up sides of apples. Freeze until set, about 2 hours.

  2. 2. Fill mold with cold water to completely submerge fruit. Return to freezer and freeze until solid, 4 hours or overnight.

  3. 3. To serve, dip the bottom of the mold into a bowl of hot water to loosen. Invert a plate over mold; turn out ice ring and transfer to your punch bowl. Cheers!
