Witches Brew

Having a Halloween Party? This is the perfect punch.
NEED:
1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
2 1/2 cups cranberry juice
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin

2 liters ginger ale
2 liters sparkling apple cider (non-alcoholic)
6 gummi snakes candy

THE BEST PART OF THIS PUNCH IS THE FROZEN HAND USED TO KEEP IT COLD..VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE...

To make the frozen hand:
Wash and rinse the outside of a rubber glove.(MAY WANT TO CONSIDER LATEX FREE DUE TO ALLERGIES) Turn glove inside out and set aside. In a 4 cup measuring cup, combine the thawed raspberries and cranberry juice.
Pour 2 cups of the raspberry mixture into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over 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 cup.
Pour raspberry mixture into the inverted glove. Gather up the top of the glove and tie securely with kitchen twine. Freeze until solid, or several days if possible.
To serve: Carefully cut 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 gummy snakes.

ENJOY!

Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

Carving a jack-o'-lantern is a ritual in our house — we even have a set of tiny saws that were made for the task. Another part of the ritual: toasting the seeds. After scraping out all of the inside goop, rinse and pat dry the seeds, lay them out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt and roast them in a 200 degree F oven for 1 hour until they smell nice and nutty.
Let cool and place in an airtight container for a quick snack later.

Enjoy!
