Black Lagoon
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
2
cups light or rock-colored jelly beans
1
package (6 ounces) blue gelatin
1
cup boiling water
1
cup cold concentrated grape juice
1
cup ice cubes
Gummy fish
Fresh parsley sprigs or celery leaves
Canned whipped cream (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Place jelly beans in a 9-inch glass pie plate; tilt until beans mound on 1 side, like a "shoreline."
2.
Pour gelatin in medium bowl and add boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes to dissolve completely. Add grape juice and ice cubes; stir until ice cubes have melted. Pour slowly into empty side of pie plate, holding back jelly beans with a spoon.
3.
Refrigerate briefly until gelatin just begins to set. When gelatin has partially set, use a skewer to place gummy fish and parsley sprigs as seaweed.
Tip:
Add green gelatin for sickly color. Add circle candies for old tires, wilted frisée lettuce greens at bottom, and float fish on top of water.Tip:
With whipped cream, create a foamy shoreline by spraying onto edge of gelatin where it meets the jelly bean shore.
