BEST TOMATO ASPIC SALAD

I have so many recipes.........I have little written notes on most of them........this one is dated 9/94 and says it is my best aspic recipe.  When I pass on...........my family will have alot of fun reading all my notes on all my recipes............I have THOUSANDS of recipes.  I read recipe books like novels.  Bob is always surprised what will come up next........some good........some bad.........mostly good.

If you live in Mx you can buy those little cans of mx tomato sauce with hot peppers in it. If not, use a can of regular tomato sauce and add enough water to it, to make 1 2/3 cups of liquid.  Sprinkle this with a little Tobasco and two pkgs of unflavored gelatin.  Heat until the gelatin dissolves. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar, 3 Tblsp of lime juice, salt, pepper and 2 tsp of horseradish sauce. Put in frig for about 1 1/2 hrs.........then add: Finely chopped cucumber, green pepper, onions and celery about 1/2 cup of each.  Then add a can of tiny/med shrimp or crab or nada (as my recipe says! LOL.I sometimes wrote little notes in Spanish) Just be sure not to let it set up too hard before you add the vegys. It will set up fast after you add the vegys.........such a great side dish with a bbq or just to snack on while watching tv or reading. Its refreshing.
