Percy Pig

In our minds there is no mightier sweet that represents beautiful England than the Percy Pig. This rare breed of pig lives in the sweet isle of Marks and Spencer’s and sometimes by the checkout. For more info it DOES have a Wikipedia page. Look it up! So yes anyway we decided to PIMP a Percy Pig.

These are the ingredients we used. Sainsbury’s is our supermarket of choice; this is due to walking distance however not any other factors.

We started melting marshmallows in a glass dish over a pan full of water. This turned out to be a sticky business so we hastily moved onto the next stage. We melted about one and a half packets of jelly cubes in the microwave until they were runny. We then added them to the marshmallows on the hob and this seemed to work rather well, if we do say so ourselves (which we do).

We then poured our mixture into a round tin, lined with silver foil. Pretty self explanitory really. To create the snout we made a ring from greaseproof paper and stuck this where we wanted the snout to go. We stuck this in the freezer for a while and then poured some more mixture into the paper to create the effect of the snout sticking out from the pig.

We then repeated this WHOLE process again, without the snout bit. We poured it into a SQUARE tin this time. We left this to cool and then added raw melted jelly on to and left it to cool. This was to create the ears. Here are both the bad boys in the freezer.

When they were almost set we made the markings for the eyes and the mouth. We also took the greaseproof paper off the snout and this had worked really well. Great idea Mel! We then cut the head into a kind of triangle shape ready to attach the ears. Like so:

Then we cut out corresponding shapes for the ears and stuck them together. To be honest they were sticky enough without any glue type things. And here is the finished result:

Hope you enjoyed our Pimp. We did but we all felt mighty sick after.
