Fake Blood – Halloween Festive and Delicious!

Looking for a fun Halloween decoration that becomes a blood-curdling part of the refreshments?  Look no further.  The magic of Ultra Gel® combined with other kitchen staples provides a delightfully cherry flavored but horribly realistic visual effect.   Stirs up in minutes and holds up great!  Makes a great syrup to serve in Italian sodas or to pour over ice cream.

You can make Italian sodas by filling a glass about 1/3 full of the syrup, then filling with club soda (the base is already pretty sweet, so better to use club soda than a sweetened carbonated drink).  Add a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream and you have a delightfully macabre but refreshing drink!  Or pour it over ice cream balls decorated with candy “eyes”.
