POACHED SKULL AND CROSSBONES4 bananas 1 (1 lb) can pear halves, drained raisins (for eyes) strawberry or raspberry fruit or all fruit sugar-free preserves Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut bananas in half lengthwise and place 2 halves, or bones, crisscrossed in X shapes in a baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Place your pear-half skulls on top of the banana X's, curved side up. With a blunt knife, make 2 small slits in the pears for the eyes. Insert a raisin in each slit. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to individual serving plates. Drip some fruit sauce (to look like blood) around your creepy crossbones. Servings: 4 Adapted from source: Creepy Cuisine by Lucy Munroe
