Monday 11 September 2023 Black Friday's Realistic Blood Punch/Cocktail Haven't you always wanted to feel more authentically like a vampire while getting drunk at the same time? I've always wondered why I could never find a recipe for an alcoholic drink, be it a punch or cocktail, that resembled blood beyond just being red. Why was there nothing out there with the consistency of blood, too? The goal for this recipe was to avoid food colouring, and get it the right colour just with the ingredients. Theoretically you could make just about any drink red by adding food colouring, but that feels like cheating. It also needed to taste good. What I really wanted to achieve, was an alcoholic drink that felt and moved like blood. This may not be perfect but it was the closest I could get whilst maintaining the flavour. Be the coolest/weirdest host ever by providing your guests with a punch that not only looks, but feels like blood. Best of all, it tastes lovely and makes for easy drinking. Serve it cooled, or leave it slightly warm to make it feel creepier. You can add ice cubes (I recommend ice with red food colouring in it) but remember if you put ice into a pitcher or punch bowl, this will dilute the punch and thin its consistency as it melts. Best Halloween punch ever? I think so. The recipe can be scaled up or down to make a whole bowl or pitcher of punch, or just a couple of cocktails. The recipe below yields two or three servings. Simply multiply the recipe depending on how many people you're likely to be serving. For example, if you're serving 12 guests, multiply the ingredients by 6. For 20 guests, by 10, and so forth. The measurements don't have to be exact! You will need: 150ml/5oz Red wine (merlot or cabernet sauvignon) 30ml/1oz Cherry brandy or cherry liqueur 60ml/2oz Vodka 30ml/1oz Raspberry syrup or cordial 30ml/1oz Grenadine 120ml/4oz Pomegranate juice 3tsp. Arrowroot powder Method: In a small, separate dish, mix the arrowroot with 3 teaspoons cold water. Stir until you have a smooth white liquid with no lumps. Put the other ingredients together into a pot on the stove. Heat carefully over medium heat. It should get hot but not boil, about 80˚C/176˚F. Do not let it boil! Gradually add the arrowroot liquid into the pot, stir consistently. You should start to feel the mixture thicken slightly as you stir, this only takes a minute or two. Remove from the heat and put into a heat safe container. Put in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes or until cooled. Leaving it for too long will cause it to congeal a bit. Pour into a punch bowl, pitcher, or cocktail glasses. Garnish and serve!

Tuesday 14 September 2021 Penta-Pretzels DIY These are awesome for picnics or parties. You can use a different amount of dough to make them larger or smaller to your liking. You can of course use this recipe to make pretzels in the traditional shape, but because we're weird, let's make them pentacle shaped. Ingredients/Zutaten: 3 1/2 cups (500g) plain flour 1 cup (250ml) warm water 1 Tbsp dry active yeast or a cube of fresh yeast 1 tsp sugar 25-50g butter 3 Tbsp baking soda Method/Zubereitung: Put flour into a large mixing bowl (or bread machine if you're lazy like me) and make a little well in the centre. Into the well pour your warm water. You can also use slightly warm milk instead of water. Sprinkle the yeast onto the water (or crumble if using fresh yeast), then add the sugar. Give it a wee stir. Having ideally let it soften first, add the butter. Knead the dough until well mixed. Leave the dough to rise for about 20 minutes, it should hopefully double in size. Divide the dough into about eight equal pieces, but this will depend on how big you want your pretzels to be. Between your hands, roll the dough out into very long, thin sausages. The part for the ring should be thicker, but the star part shouldn't be much thicker than a pencil. Make a ring and twist the ends together. Carefully lay the thinner sausage over the ring in the shape of a five-pointed star. Pinch the corners and mush the dough carefully into the ring to ensure a good shape and a good stick. Be careful here! Boil a litre of water in a pot. Add three tablespoons of baking soda to the hot water, and turn down the heat so it stays hot but not boiling. If you are making a big batch, remember to use three tablespoons of baking soda per every litre of hot water. Gently place each pretzel into the water, and leave it there for 30-60 seconds. Make sure the whole thing gets wet. This process is what gives the pretzel its lovely brown exterior. With a slotted spoon or similar, lift the pretzel from the water and place it on a baking tray. While wet, sprinkle thick chunky salt on. You can use other toppings too if you really want. Preheat oven to 180˚C (360˚F) and once heated, bake your pretzels for 20-25 minutes. They should be brown and properly baked. Best enjoyed warm and fresh, but they'll keep for a day. Guten Appetit!

Saturday 25 January 2020 17th Century Sack Posset 17th century references the diary of Samuel Pepys, so I thought I would just have to read that. And so I have been. Well, listening to it on audiobook through Audible, that counts as reading, does it not? It's 115 hours of listening, it's not a small undertaking. Everything mentioned in the diaries that I wasn't already familiar with, I looked up, and one of those things was "sack posset". I'm so glad I did. I think the mildly amusing name attracted me most, but I looked up as many recipes for sack posset as I could, written at the time. No two were exactly alike, so I combined the essential ingredients and rough ratios from every recipe I saw, and had a crack at making it. It was amazing. Warming, soothing, delicious, makes you all cosy and sleepy. Sack posset is generally served in the evening after supper, the last thing you give your guests before they head home. Obviously this is 18+ or 21+ depending on where you live because of alcohol laws, but I've heard the sherry can be substituted for orange and lemon juice, though I haven't tried it. The mixture can be thickened with bread crumbs if you fancy eating it with a spoon instead of drinking it, but I've not tried that either. Some old recipes suggest adding mace, crushed almonds, rosewater, musk, or even ambergris. It's a flexible recipe, you could experiment with whatever ingredients take your fancy. Let us begin! This yields about 3 coffee mugs full, but is best served in teacups. You can warm the cups beforehand if you wish. Ingredients: 400ml heavy cream 300ml sherry 7 egg yolks 2 egg whites 1/2 cup sugar ground nutmeg ground/sticks of cinnamon Method: Pour the cream and sugar into a pot. Sprinkle a small amount of the nutmeg and cinnamon in, and stir. Some recipes called for a blade of mace, but mace is fairly expensive so I omitted it. Separate yolks and egg whites. There are several methods to do this, I like passing the yolk between the shell halves. You might have one of these doodads. Put the yolks into a large basin or similar. If you don't want to waste the leftover whites, you could turn them into meringues. Crack two whole eggs in, whites included. Add the sherry to the eggs and whisk together until eggs are beaten. Boil some water in a pot that will comfortably sit the basin atop it. Place the egg-sherry mixture over the boiling water. If exposed to direct heat, the eggs will cook, yuck! Stir it continuously and test the temperature with a knuckle. Put the cream-sugar pot on the stove at a medium heat. Stir this regularly too. The cream should be taken off the heat just before it starts to boil. Once the egg-sherry mixture is warm, take the basin off the boiling water. Carefully pour the cream into the eggs, pouring a little at a time, and stirring constantly until all is combined. Ladle into teacups and enjoy! I read that cushions were placed around the basin to keep it warm. It's important that it doesn't get too hot or else you'll end up with scrambled eggs, you want it at a warm, drinkable temperature. It's quite filling, you'll probably find that a couple of teacups is loads!
