Pimentos

¼ package of gelatine

¼ cup of cold water

1 slice of mild onion

2 green peppers or pimentos

Cabbage to make one pint

¼ cup of vinegar

¼ cup of brown sugar

½ teaspoonful of salt

½ teaspoonful of celery seed

½ teaspoonful of mustard seed

Line fluted molds with pimentos; press the pimentos close to the flutings of the mold, and trim even with the tops of the molds; or, decorate the bottoms and sides of plain molds with figures cut from pimentos. For the latter, have the mold standing in ice water; take up the figures on the point of a larding needle, dip in. the liquid of the mixture to be jellied and set in place.

Soften the gelatine in cold water and dissolve by setting the dish in boiling water. Chop the vegetables exceedingly fine. Mix with the gelatine and other ingredients and turn into the prepared molds. Unmold on lettuce hearts. This will keep, stored in a cool place, in good condition several days.

Celery may be substituted for part of the cabbage; well-blanched stalks free from fiber should be selected. This dish is particularly good as an accompaniment to a dish of fish and can hardly be classed as an entree.
