Directions
-
Dissolve the blue jelly powder in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely clear.
-
Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly so it is warm but not hot.
-
Thoroughly wash and dry a new, medium-sized stretch latex medical glove inside and out.
-
Spray the outside of the glove with baking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Turn the glove inside out.
-
Using a long skewer, puncture the glove just below the opening on one side and push through to the opposite side to create a wide opening.
-
Suspend the glove from the skewer inside a tall pitcher, ensuring it hangs freely.
-
Carefully pour the cooled blue gelatin mixture into the hanging glove.
-
Secure the top of the glove with a twist tie between the gelatin level and the skewer.
-
Refrigerate the suspended glove for at least 2 hours, or up to 48 hours, until the gelatin is firmly set.
-
Place a large punch bowl or serving dish on a stable surface.
-
Using scissors, carefully cut the latex glove open along the palm and down each finger, taking care not to puncture the gelatin hand inside.
-
Gently remove the latex glove, leaving the blue gelatin hand intact in the bowl.
-
Pour the lemonade over and around the gelatin hand in the bowl.
-
Serve immediately as a spooky centerpiece for your Halloween party.
