Looking for some food and drink Halloween recipes for your next Halloween party?
Great food and drinks are essential for a successful party. This article describes some recipes that you can use to create some wonderful dishes for your guests of all ages.
What can you do with all the pumpkins used for crafts and Jack O'Lanterns after Halloween?
Good news, you can make pumpkin pies. Here's great Halloween recipe...
To make the filling, slice the pumpkin in half, scrape the inside with a spoon to remove wax or mold and any loose stringy stuff. Place skin side up on a cookie sheet in a 350°F oven until tender and juicy.
The time this takes will of course depend on the size of the pumpkin. Let it cool.
Peel the pumpkin and cut into cubes small enough to be chopped in a blender. Blend the pumpkin cubes in the blender or food processor. This can now be frozen until you are ready to make the pies. Here's the actual Halloween recipe...
Ingriedients - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell, 1 1/2 cups milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon molasses, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 2 eggs, slightly beaten, 1 1/2 cup fresh pumpkin or blended mix from used pumpkins (see above).
If using fresh pumpkin, place a paper towel in a strainer and pour the fresh pumpkin on top to remove any excess water. Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix sugar and molasses with a fork thoroughly and add spices and mix. In a saucepan heat the milk to boiling point. Add the sugar and spices to boiled milk. Add pumpkin and eggs and stir the mixture. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell and place into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Set oven back now to 350°F and cook 25-30 minutes or until set.
This Halloween recipe is fantastic.

Green Blobs (makes 30) Ingredients - 1 cup water, 1/4 lb. butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, green food coloring, 1 cup flour, 4 eggs. For the filling - fresh strawberries and strawberry glaze. Heat oven to 400°F. Bring water to boil in a heavy pan. Add the butter, salt and food coloring. After the butter has melted completely, add flour all at once. Stir vigorously and form a compact ball. Remove from heat into a mixing bowl. Break up the ball and let it cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Drop onto un-greased cookie sheets by the tablespoon. Bake for 30 minutes or until the blobs are lightly browned and are stiff to the touch. The blobs may be frozen at this point and then later warmed up when ready for use. Fill the blobs by cutting a slit into the blob large enough to push in a strawberry, then pipe the glaze into the blob using a pastry funnel and push in a strawberry. Store in an air tight container.
