1 Envelope gelatin 1/4 c Hot whole milk 1/4 c Cold whole milk 1 c Crab meat 1 sm Onion -- minced 1 c Whipped cream Bottom Layer: 1 Envelope gelatin 1/2 c Tomato juice -- heated 1/2 c Cold tomato juice 1/2 c Finely chopped celery 1 ts Lemon juice Lettuce leaves Thousand Island dressing
Dissolve gelatin in cold milk then blend into the hot milk. Whip with egg
beater until foamy. Add the crab meat and onion, then fold in the whipped
cream. Fill individual molds 2/3 full. Set in refrigerator to jell. While
chilling, prepare the tomato mixture, dissolving the gelatin in a bit of
the cold tomato juice. Blend this into the hot tomato juice and add to the
remaining cold juice. Set in refrigerator until it begins to jell; then
add celery and lemon juice and pour this over crab meat layer.
When firmly set, unmold on lettuce leaves and serve with thousand island
dressing. I use different molds each time I make this; sometimes I use one
large mold. Whatever you have will work. This recipe was given to me ages
ago and I am sorry that I do not know the origin, therefore cannot give
credit. (Or take credit.) I SUPPOSE you could use surimi, lol.
