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.
