crab mousse
My daughter-in-law served this to our family one Christmas, years ago. She halved the recipe and made it in a bowl. It was gone in no time. I had forgotten all about it until recently when I was hosting a Mystery Dinner Party that took place on the Mississippi river in 1905 and I made it for the appetizer table. I made it in a fish mold. Again it was a great success.

-

Step 2Stir well to make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved and there are no lumps.

Step 3Add the crabmeat, celery, scallions, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt. Stir gently but thoroughly.

Step 4Spoon the mixture into prepared mold and smooth top with spatula or knife. Cover with plastic wrap. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until fire, about 3 to 6 hours or overnight.

Step 5When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and loosen edges of the mousse by running a knife around the sides. Invert onto serving dish. The mousse will slip out in a few minutes.
