Hallowe’en Party

Name: Hallowe’en Party
Ingredients: Jam tarts (by request: the jam to denote blood), recipe above (see here).; Biscuits (see here) shaped like pumpkins and decorated correspondingly; others to look like cobwebs.; Chocolate cake with green marzipan and orange icing. Put black-hatted witch on top.; Monster’s eyeballs: just use a melon-baller (for once! useful!) to scoop out a green- or yellow-fleshed melon.; Cocktail sausages. You can’t have too many. For 20 children and 12 or so adults, I make 200. You get about 65 to the kilo. Roast on trays in gas mark 4/180°C oven for 40–50 minutes.; Sandwiches: pesto (for the green colour).; Corn-crisps that look like bacon slices.; Toffee apples.
