Halloween Recipe: Frozen Jack-O-Lanterns
12 oranges
12 cinnamon sticks
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream
Cut off tops of oranges. Gently hollow out pulp (reserve for another use), leaving a thick shell; cut any pulp off tops also. Cut Jack-O-Lantern faces into each orange. Pack chocolate ice cream into shells, avoid letting ice cream come out of holes. Cut a hole into top of orange top. Set tops back on, over ice cream, and inset cinnamon stick stem through the hole. Place in freezer for at least 3 hours, or until serving time.
Halloween Recipe: Bleeding Heart Jello
The Preparation
The heart is made from red jello with a some evaporated
milk added to make it opaque. The blood is honey or kyro
syrup with red food coloring added. Place the “blood”
in a small ziplock plastic bag and submerged in the jello.
I guess you could use any mold for the jello
but a heart shape really looks special.
The Presentation
A heart shaped mold sits innocently on a platter.
When pierced with a sharp knife it oozes blood red sauce.
The effect is disgusting, but not bad tasting.
When you’ve gathered everyone around for the cutting,
be sure to use a fairly sharp knife so it pierces the bag.
Also, the best effect is when the center of the heart is pierced,
then the knife is twisted. This oozes blood out of the “wound”
and looks gross!! If you have a “hearty” crowd that wants to dig in,
just remember to remove the bag!
