Halloween Witches Brew
A must every Halloween - this recipe is great fun! A fake hand is frozen in a rubber glove and then presented in a bucket or glass punch bowl. Dress the hand up with a few Halloween gimmicks, like spiders.
Ingredients
- 300g of frozen raspberries, thawed
- 600ml of cranberry Juice
- 1 sachet of powdered gelatine
- 2l ginger ale
- 2l sparkling apple juice
- 6 gummi snakes
Method
- To make the frozen hand: Wash and rinse the outside of a rubber glove. Turn the glove inside out and set aside. In a 1 litre measuring jug, combine the thawed raspberries and cranberry juice.
2. Pour half of the raspberry mixture into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over it and let stand 2 minutes. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, just until gelatin dissolves. Mix back into the reserved raspberry mixture in the measuring jug.
3. Pour raspberry mixture into the inverted glove. Gather up the top of the glove and tie securely with kitchen string. Freeze until solid, or several days if possible.
4. To serve: Carefully cut rubber glove away from frozen hand. Place frozen hand, palm side up, leaning against side of a large punch bowl. Pour in ginger ale and sparkling cider. Garnish with Gummi snakes.
Worm Cupcakes
A favourite at kids' Halloween parties. Use a shop bought chocolate cake mix and icing if you're pressed for time, or use your own cake and icing recipes to prepare these cupcakes from scratch.
