One of my favs for tailgating, or casual get-together:



BLOODY MARY BALLS:

Time Required: 30 minutes prep, plus overnight to let the alcoholic goodness sink in

Skill Required: No cooking skills needed; intermediate drinking skills required

Ingredients:

Cherry tomatoes

Vodka (use a good brand)

Celery salt, Old Bay, Cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, in small bowls

Toothpicks

Preparation:

Blanch the tomatoes by dropping them into boiling water until the skin puckers. Remove the tomatoes and pull the skin off. Allow them to cool.

Soak the tomatoes in vodka overnight.

To serve:
Put your spices into small bowls.

Spear a tomato with a toothpick, roll into the spices of your choice, and pop it into your mouth.

Repeat as often as necessary.

Alternatively, you can season the vodka prior to soaking the tomatoes, then provide some Old Bay for dipping.

YUMMY !!!!!!!!!
