Real blood pudding is pretty disgusting, a byproduct of pig slaughtering.
So, vanilla pudding with red melba sauce for blood is the modern way to go.
-- Meridith Ford
Hands on time: 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
1 package vanilla pudding mix (6-serving package; requires 6 cups whole milk)
1/2 cup seedless red raspberry jam
1/2 cup simple syrup (see note)
2 large marshmallows
4 black M&Ms
Instructions:
Prepare the pudding according to package directions (for a richer, thicker pudding, substitute 1 cup heavy cream for 1 cup milk). Pour the warm pudding into glass goblets.
For melba sauce: Combine the raspberry jam with simple syrup in a small sauce pan. Using a whisk, stir gently over low heat until the jam melts and a thick sauce forms. Set aside to cool.
Cut the marshmallows in half with kitchen scissors; trim the edges to create an oval "eye" shape.
Put the cooled melba sauce into a piping bag or squirt bottle. Pipe squiggles of sauce from the center of the pudding to look like veins. Place a half marshmallow in the center of each "eye." Place the black M&M in the center of each eyeball. Devour.

Notes:
To make simple syrup, in a small sauce pan, heat 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
