FROZEN FRUIT
A flexible plastic
container, such as a
recycled 2-liter bottle,
below,
is an inexpensive
and unbreakable mold for
making ice luminarias like
the one shown at right
Pour distilled water—it
makes the clearest ice—
into the container to fill it
one-third full. A second,
smaller container in the
center, weighted with
rocks, creates a hollow
center in the mold.
Arrange branches of
yellow twig dogwood and
cranberries in the water.
Freeze until solid. Thaw
the ice slightly to unmold
both containers and place
a votive candle inside.
