Ingredients

1 can (1qt. 14oz) tomato juice
12 whole black peppers
8 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 envelopes unflavoured gelatine

Directions

1. In medium saucepan, combine 5 cups tomato juice, peppers, cloves, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to boiling, reduce heat, then simmer 5 minutes.

2. Sprinkle gelatine over remaining tomato juice to soften. Add to hot mixture; stir until gelatine is dissolved. Remove from heat.

3. Strain mixture. Pour into 12 individual molds or 1 1/2 quart mold.

4. Refrigerate until firm – at least 3 hours.

5. To unmold: Run small spatula around edge of mold. Invert on serving plate, place a hot, damp dishcloth on bottom of mold, and shake gently to release. Garnish as desired – with sliced olives, green peppers, cucumber, or salad greens. Serve with mayonnaise.

Makes 8 servings.
