A smoking cauldron of punch made with grapes and orange peel masquerading as eyeballs and worms.

Ingredients:

4 c Cranberry juice cocktail

1 c Chopped candied ginger (1 -jar)

3 med Oranges

1 can (12-oz) thawed frozen apple -juice concentrate

1 can (6-oz) thawed frozen -limeade concentrate

2 c Seedless grapes

4 c -Water

2 Bottles (32 oz each) ginger -ale

1 lb Dry ice -up to 2 lb (CAUTION: never touch dry ice; use tongs to handle)

Directions:

In a 1 to 2 quart pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, about 2 minutes, set aside.

With a vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges; cut peel into thin 2-inch-long worms; or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds.

Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.

Juice oranges; put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple concentrate, limeade, grapes and water.

If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups); ice should smolder at least 30 minutes.

Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases.

Makes 5 quarts; allow about 1-1/2 cups for a serving.
