Number Of Ingredients 16

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoon sugar
1 bay leaf
4 cups good quality tomato juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon cream horseradish sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
dash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup celery, finely chopped
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
½ cup green pepper, finely chopped
½ cup pimento stuffed green olives, chopped
1 cup cooked cocktail shrimp, optional

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan combine the gelatin and sugar, mixing well. Slowly stir in 2 cups of tomato juice and the bay leaf until well combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until gelatin dissolves.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the rest of the tomato juice, salt, celery salt, horseradish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and lemon juice and vinegar.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until syrupy. Watch it so it doesn't firm up. It usually takes about 30-45 minutes. Check often.
  • Gently stir the remaining ingredients into the thickened juice, pour into a mold and refrigerate until firm. Garnish with a little mayo if desired.
