Halloween Witches Brew Punch

A must every Halloween - this is great fun! A fake hand is frozen in a rubber glove and then floated in a bucket or glass punch bowl. Dress the hand up with a few Halloween trimmings like snakes and spiders.

Ingredients:

• 300g (9.5 oz) raspberries or strawberries, sliced
• 600ml (20 oz.) cranberry, or apple and blackcurrant juice
• 1 sachet (3 tsp.) gelatin

• 2 liters ginger ale
• 2 liters sparkling non-alcoholic apple juice
• 6 snakes

Directions:

To make the frozen hand, wash and rinse the outside of a rubber glove. Turn glove inside out and set aside. In a 1 liter measuring jug, combine the berries and juice.

Pour half of this 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 juice and berry mixture in the measuring jug.

Pour the juice and berry mixture into the inverted glove. Gather up the top of the glove and tie securely with string or a rubber band. Freeze until solid, or several days if possible.

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 snakes.
