The best blood recipe I have found is...
- 17 cups hot water pour into large pot....slowly heat and whisk in 7 cups of flour (approx 2 lbs.) and ½ cup of cocoa powder (making a gravy like substance)...... once all mixed you can increase the heat to medium....do not allow it to boil
- Add four packages of unsweetened black cherry Kool-Aid (DO NOT ADD SUGAR)
- Add 2½ large bottles of red food coloring (2½ oz)
- Add 5 drops of blue food coloring
Mix well....continuously stir so substance doesnt burn to bottom....you know its at the right consistancy when you dip your finger in and it slowly drips down....
Take off heat and continue to stir occasionally until cool...remember it will slightly thicken once cooled....if it gets to thick slowly whisk in warm water... (total time is about an hour) it makes a lot but can be refrigerated and reused if used within 24 hours
This is a FABULOUS blood recipe and looks great under lights..... the Clowns I work with spend 10 minutes playing with it and throwing it at each other and spitting it at each other at during each performance.....
It is edible (as far as putting it in your mouth and spitting it...they claim to swallow a little every night).....it is also washable (make sure you dont use sweetened koolaid, sugar causes it to stain) the Clowns wear white shirts every night and as long as they are cleaned with bleach immediatly following every performance we dont have a problem....
Warning it is very slippery once it is on the deck...so be sure to have anti-slip dust painted into the masonite and that it is cleaned up very well every night.....
