Nigella Lawson Blood Clots and Pus Halloween Dessert

This Halloween dessert is simplicity itself! It uses packet jelly for an effective looking "Blood clot and Pus" dessert that can be served in a large bowl or individual bowls.

Blood Clots and Pus

Adapted from Feast by Nigella Lawson

Preparation time: 10 minutes plus setting time

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients for Blood Clots

• 1 packet of strawberry jelly

• 1 packet of raspberry jelly

• 1 packet of blackcurrant jelly

Step 1 - Make up the jellies according to the packet instructions, and leave to set in separate dishes approximately 26 x 20 cm (10x8inches), in the fridge.

Step 2 - When the jellies have set, turn or mulch with your fingers and put them, squidged together on to plates or bowls in clumps like blood clots.

Ingredients for Pus

• 1 packet Lime jelly

• Milk

Step 1 - Dissolve lime jelly powder in hot water according to directions but use milk in place of water to make up the jelly and leave to set in the fridge

Step 2 - Once set, mulch the jelly up with your fingers.

Assembling your blood clots and pus

Step 1 - I put these in little individual cups. I spooned some mulched up blood clots into a cup and then splodged dots of pus throughout the top to give, as Nigella suggests, a burst boil appearance. Stunning!
