Clanton family TOMATO ASPIC
There are no rules to blogging, I think, but I made a rule of my own, that this is a Dutch oven cooking blog. Today I am going to post something, that is not cooked in a Dutch oven. I fact, not cooked at all. Well, the water is wormed up. It could be done in the old black pot. I am posting it as a side dish for Thanksgiving. It has been on our Thanksgiving and Christmas table for over 70 years. Aspics were very popular in the 40s and 50s and seem to be making a come back. Please give me some feed back on what you think of it. Thanks.
