The heart is made from red jello with a some
evaporated milk added to make it opaque. The blood is honey or corn 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 totally 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 ghastly gross!! If you
have a "hearty" crowd that wants to dig in, just remember to remove
the bag!
