FAKE BLOOD
 

1 PT CLEAR CORN SYRUP
100 DROPS OF RED FOOD COLOR
1/4 CUP WATER
1/4 CUP SIFTED FLOUR OR CORN STARCH
8 DROPS BLUE FOOD COLOR
 

               First remove about a 1/4 cup of the corn syrup and replace with an
               equal amount of water. Add the food coloring and mix by gently
               shaking. Now add the well sifted flour or corn starch and mix again. If
               flour is used you may get some small lumps of flour. Let the bottle sit
               for a couple of minutes and they will float to the top where you can
               remove them.

               You can experiment with the amount of materials to get the best
               blood like consistency. This formula may temporarily stain skin and
               may permanently stain clothes. Because of the natural sugar content
               of the corn syrup, this blood does not have a very long shelf live. You
               can extend the life somewhat by storing the blood in the refrigerator
               until needed.

For large amounts of blood, double, triple, or quadruple this recipe as necessary.
 

SUGAR GLASS

 2 cups water 3 1/2 cups white sugar 1 cup white corn syrup 1/4
teaspoon cream of tartar Boil and keep it there until
it reaches 250 degrees (measure using a candy
thermometer) the ingedients should come disolved and a
thick syrup Pour the contents into your mold and roll
around the mixture a little to get the thickness you
want on the sides. Make sure the sides of the mold
greased, then let it cool. Open your mold and have
fun. The mold will probably need to be three sided for
easy retreival of your fake glass.
 
i used a greased (with Pam or the non-stick cooking
spray of your choice) cookie sheet!
