Shrunken heads in Cider
Serves about 30
2 cups lemon juice
2 tbs coarse salt
8 large Granny Smith apples
32 whole cloves
2 gallons apple cider
2 cans lemonade concentrate
2 cups spiced rum
Preheat oven to 120 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together lemon juice and salt; set aside.
Peel apples and cut each in half through the stem; remove seeds and core. Using a sharp paring knife, carve a face, as desired, on the rounded side of each apple half. Place apples in lemon mixture for one minute; transfer to paper towels to drain.
Place apples, face-side up on the baking sheet and transfer to oven. Let bake until apples are dry and begin to brown around the edges, about 90 minutes. Remove apples from baking sheet and press cloves into the eye sockets.
Combine cider, lemonade, and rum in a large punchbowl; float shrunken heaps on top.
