Savory Halloween Worms

A savory Halloween treat - slithery red worms for a salad or snack.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vegetable juice or tomato juice
  • 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 T yogurt
  • 1 T pesto

Instructions
 

  • Put 1 c juice in a small saucepan. Sprinkle all the gelatin over it. Let rest five minutes to soften. Heat juice and gelatin mixture, stirring, until all the gelatin melts and the juice looks glossy.
  • Mix the yogurt and pesto into the second cup of juice. Stir the gelatin mixture into the seasoned juice.
  • Fill a tall, narrow container with drinking straws. Pour the juice mixture into the straws and chill until firm, at least several hours.
  • Unmold. Let rest at least a few hours, preferably overnight, uncovered in the refrigerator, to both chill and dry slightly, until firm to the touch (so that it will stay firm at room temperature.)
