PRUNO

The Q'punga Cocktail of the Week for
March 4-10, 2007!

This pentitentiary favorite can be made with the following ingredients, all available from your area comissary.

• Several apples or oranges
• A can of fruit cocktail
• About 50 sugarcubes
• A few packages of ketchup

1. Smash the fruit and dump it, and the contents of the can of fruit cocktail, into a plastic bag. Add water and heat under hot running water until steaming. Wrap the bag in a towel or other insulate, then put it away for two full days.

2. Add the ketchup and sugar, and warm until steaming. Wrap bag in towel and let sit for three days. Gas will develop as a byproduct, so be careful that your Pruno bag does not burst.

3. After the three day wait, heat the Pruno bag once per day for an additional three days.

4. On the eighth day, strain liquid from the bag and serve. Mmm-mmm!
