Poisoned Apple Recipes

POISON APPLE PUNCH

Steps:

• Smash the ginger slices with the flat side of a chef's knife and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add the apple cider, orange zest, lemon zest, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Poke holes in the apple wedges with a chopstick or skewer and insert a gummy worm into each. Add the cranberry-apple juice and whiskey, if using, to the punch. Serve over ice. Garnish with the apples.

POISONED APPLES

Steps:

• Conjure up some lightning in your secret laboratory so you can see more clearly, then summon the spirit of the Mirror.
• Rinse the apples, remove the stems and insert wooden twigs or sticks into the center, pushing them in well so they are secure.
• Roll the lemon back and forth several times across a work surface under the palm of your hand, pressing firmly, then cut into half and collect the juice.
• In a cauldron as black as your soul, melt the fructose with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. When the candy is golden but not get coppery, add four drops of blue coloring to each one drop of black (according to the Mirror's advice).
• Mix and remove from the heat.
• Take the apples in the candy, coating them completely with both the sugar and your resentment.
• Place the apples on a plate lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely, until the candy is as dry as your heart.
