Directions (Dead Man's Hands):
Note: This needs to be done at least 2 days in advance to allow the Jell-O to set and freeze!
Boil the pot of water, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add 2-3 of the silicon surgical gloves and stir for about 5 minutes. Remove the gloves with the tongs, and pat dry with the paper towels. Fill the gloves to just behind the base of the thumb area with Lime Jell-O. Twist the top of each glove and secure it tightly with a rubber band to prevent spills after each is filled, then set them (fingers down) in the shoebox and put them in the fridge. After 12 hours, the Jell-O will be set and you should move the hands to the freezer. Do not take them out until the punch is about to be served.
If you have any Jell-O left, you can set it and serve wedges at the party, or keep it for school lunches and family desserts! |
