Halloween Recipes

Trolls,Ogres, and other Human- Hunters used to stock up on snot during flu season in order to enjoy this glutinous curd all year round. Humans snot was a popular treat so this would be appreciated as a gift by friends or neighbors who didn't own a snot extractor,or who lived in warmer climates where a lack of winter ills meant it was harder to procure. As snot became less readily available, Troll housewives developed this tasty alternative.

Sufficient.—for 3 assorted jars
1½ lb cooking apples, quartered, cored, peeled, and diced
½ cup ginger wine

Fresh Pus Pie was a firm favorite on the menu of many cadaver cafes up until about a century ago. It was delicious served warm and oozing from the oven or fire pit. The best pus was extracted from diseased humans and it could be very rich so diners were advised to limit themselves to one small slice. A dramatic drop in human diseases that produced oozing boils led to its demise and this modern recipe took over in popularity.

Sufficient.—for 8 monster servings of pie
13 oz sweet shortcrust pastry
a little flour, for dusting
1 cup superfine sugar

 Vampire’s Nightmare

Roasted Garlic

Preheat the oven to 425F. 
Roast for about 45 minutes, until the garlic is completely soft and lightly browned. Separate the cloves into individual sections, allowing your family and friends to squeeze out the softened garlic.

Spooky Potpies

Ingredients : PIECRUST 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup frozen sweet butter, cut in small chunks 1/4 cup vegetable shortening 11 tbsp. ice water FILLING 2 1/2 medium onions, chopped 4 celery stalks, diced 3 tbsp. olive oil 2 cups frozen corn 2 cups frozen baby peas 3 cups carrots, peeled, chopped and cooked (about 5carrots) 2 medium potatoes, peeled, cubed and cooked 5 cups diced cooked chicken, turkey 7 tbsp. sweet butter 5 tbsp. all-purpose flour 4 1/2 cups chicken, vegetable or turkey stock 1/2 tsp. pepper Salt to taste 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation :

TO MAKE THE PIECRUST: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the flour, salt, butter and vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle with the ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together, being careful not to let the dough form a ball. Remove the dough and press it into two disks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling. TO MAKE THE FILLING: In a large saucepan, sauté the onions and celery in the olive oil over medium heat until soft. Add all the vegetables, and the chicken, turkey or ham, and set aside. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pepper and salt. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables. Then pour the mixture into 10 individual ovenproof bowls or two 9-inch pie pans. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the piecrust on a lightly floured surface. Cover the 10 (or two) pies with the dough. Use a cookie cutter to cut spiders, bats, or pumpkins out of scraps of piecrust. Lightly brush the egg onto the piecrusts and place a character  on top. Bake for 20 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles. It's a good idea to place a cookie sheet below the pies to catch any drips. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
