Punchless Punch Contest
Posted by John Malloy on 05/06/2010

Grey Bruce Residents are invited to participate in a Punchless Punch Contest sponsored by the Grey Bruce Agriculture & Culinary Association.
All punches must use locally available ingredients – so no citrus or mango! As Punchless implies, no alcohol to be used. (Complete contest details below.) All recipes received by the contest close May 15 will be reviewed against the rules. Those meeting the criteria will be made in a professional kitchen and three winners will be chosen. Best punch overall, best fruit punch and best vegetable punch. The winners will be announced and featured at the Wiarton Field to Fork Feast May 30.
Publication of the recipes is being investigated.
