Blood Clots
by Nigella. Featured in FEASTIntroduction
It's childish, but I think I am inordinately proud of this formulation (I can't call it a recipe): it's simple, therefore totally unstressful for parents, and children absolutely adore it.
Yes, I know you're giving them pure sugar, but is this really the night to worry about it?

Ingredients
Makes: about 10 blood-clots
- 1 packet strawberry jelly
- 1 packet raspberry jelly
- 1 packet blackcurrant jelly
- 1 packet strawberry jell-o
- 1 packet raspberry jell-o
- 1 packet blackcurrant jell-o
Method
- Make up the jellies according to the packet instructions, and leave to set in separate dishes approximately 26 x 20 cm / 10 x 8 inches, in the fridge. I just have a lot of these and like this the jelly takes less long to set, but any similar dish would do of course.
- When the jellies have set, turn or mulch with your fingers and put them, squodged together on to plates or bowls in clumps like blood clots.
