Instructions
- Use a sharp knife, such as a paring knife, to carefully cut a rectangle at the top of each sausage to resemble a nail bed.Tip: if you want the sausages to really look like a hand, using your 5 different finger lengths as a guide, cut the sausages into the right sizes.
- After that, carefully make 2-3 slits under the "fingernail" and another 2-3 at the joint. You don't have to make a wide slit as the slits will automatically become bigger after boiling. (Again, you can use your own hand as a guide- but be careful when slicing!)Note: Slice carefully when carving the finger joints- you don't want to accidentally go too deep and cut through the whole sausage!
- Cook the sausages: I boiled mine for 5 minutes (or till cooked) but you can also grill or pan-fry them.Note: for extra wrinkly, old skin, as per my photo, boil your sausages for a bit longer past cooked.
- Optional: cut cheese or onions into small rectangular shapes to resemble nails, then place them onto the "fingerbeds" of the sausages. If not using, cut out bigger rectangles for the nails- they they look more realistic!
- Squeeze ketchup onto the cut side of the sausages to resemble fingers oozing blood!
Notes
- For more realistic bleeding fingers
- If you want the sausage fingers to be even more realistic, and to bend at the finger joints, microwave the sausages in water at 750W for 3 minutes (or till cooked) after making the slits for the joints. This will make the sausages curl at the slits!
- To turn into a full meal
- To turn these scary Halloween sausages into a full meal, serve them over a bed of red tomato pasta! Or in hot dog buns- add the ketchup at the cut base of the sausage to better mimic bloody fingers.
- Variation: To turn them into bloody bandaged mummy sausages, wrap long slices of cheese around each sausage, a la Mummy-style. Alternatively, wrap them in leftover threads of pie crust then bake till cooked.
