Instructions for Cranberry Glaze...

In a small, heavy saucepan, combine cranberry juice and cornstarch.

Bring gently to a boil. Boil, stirring, until thickened.

Remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature.

Spoon or pour over set, unmolded brain.

Mixture may get slightly lumpy and strange-looking upon cooling-- this is just what you want and makes the final product look that much more gory. LOL...ENJOY ...
