Ingredients

  • 12 fresh lychees (or large black grapes)
  • 12 green seedless grapes
  • 12 fresh blueberries
  • 1 sachet powdered gelatine
  • 250ml unsweetened apple and raspberry fruit juice
  • 250ml cold water

Directions

1

If using lychees, peel off the skin and remove the stones. If using black grapes, split them, without cutting right through. Push a green grape into each lychee or black grape, then push a blueberry into each one, so that the fruits look like eyeballs. Information: You could use melon balls instead of green grapes for the "eyeballs".

2

Put one "eyeball" into each of 4 serving glasses. Cover the remaining "eyeballs" and keep them chilled.

3

Pour 90ml of just-boiled water into a measuring jug and sprinkle in the powdered gelatine, stirring to mix it in. Leave for about 5 minutes, so that it dissolves into a clear liquid.

4

Mix the apple and raspberry juice and cold water into a large jug. Pour in the cooled gelatine liquid, stirring well. Information: Make sure you choose pure 100% fruit juice and not a "juice drink", which has added sugar. You could use 100% apple juice as an alternative.

5

Share between the glasses and refrigerate until set. This should take about 2 to 3 hours.

6

Serve, decorated with the remaining "eyeballs". Scary!!
