ingredients

2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 (1 teaspoon) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons sugar
¹⁄₄ cup lemon juice
6 drops hot pepper sauce, about (tabasco is fine)
1 (2 ounce) jar pimento stuffed olives

directions

Pour tomatoes into a 2-quart pan and break up any large pieces with a spoon.
Sprinkle gelatin over tomatoes and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in sugar, lemon juice, and hot pepper seasoning; place over low heat and cook, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved.
Drain liquid from olives into a measuring cup and add water, if needed, to make 2/3 cup liquid; slice olives and stir into gelatin mixture with olive liquid, onions, and celery.
Turn into a 6-8-cup mold.
Refrigerate until firm, about 5 hours.
Just before serving, unmold onto a serving plate and garnish with greens.
