Not Just for Bridge Luncheon Tomato Aspic

Cooking is not my mother’s favorite thing. But there are a couple of dishes she has mastered because they make excellent menu items for bridge day. One is her tomato aspic. As a child I refused to even try anything called aspic. It was not until I actually learned to play bridge that I tried my mother’s tomato treat that I learned how much I loved it.
2 packages sugar free lemon Jell-O
1 envelope knox unflavored gelatin
4 cups of V-8 (I use hot and spicy, but if you don’t like things too hot use regular) – divided. Half hot and half cold
2 T. Worchester sauce
1 T. lemon juice
1 cup chopped veggie of your choice- celery, green peppers, red onions
½ cup sliced olives
1 T. horseradish
Sauce
½ cup fat free sour cream
½ cup Greek Yogurt
2 T. horseradish
In a saucepan heat 2 cups of the v-8 to almost boiling. Put Jell-O powder and knox gelatin in a bowl and pour hot V-8 over it and stir until dissolved. Add the Worchester sauce, lemon juice and lemon juice. Add the cold 2 cups of V-8, the veggies, olives and horseradish. Mix together and pour into a 9 x 9 pan. Put in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
Make sauce by mixing together the sour cream, yogurt and horseradish.

This stuff is fantastic! Thanks for the recipe, Dana!
My Mother always served aspic on bridge days too! And I have loved it since childhood although no one in my family will even try it—shame on them! Until recently, I even had the small round tin individual aspic serving dishes. Talk about digging up a past memory–I can still see them all neatly placed in the refrigerator “chilling” with Mother saying, “DO NOT TOUCH”!
