Poisoned Apples

Directions

1. 1
   Conjure up some lightning in your secret laboratory so you can see more clearly, then summon the spirit of the Mirror.
2. 2
   Rinse the apples, remove the stems and insert wooden twigs or sticks into the center, pushing them in well so they are secure.
3. 3
   Roll the lemon back and forth several times across a work surface under the palm of your hand, pressing firmly, then cut into half and collect the juice.
4. 4
   In a cauldron as black as your soul, melt the fructose with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. When the candy is golden but not get coppery, add four drops of blue coloring to each one drop of black (according to the Mirror's advice).
5. 5
   Mix and remove from the heat.
6. 6
   Take the apples in the candy, coating them completely with both the sugar and your resentment.
7. 7
   Place the apples on a plate lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely, until the candy is as dry as your heart.
