Notes

VARlATlONS—To decorate a fish mold prepare one recipe of basic un-flavored gelatin with fresh lemon juice following Knox package directions. Pour enough into 4-cup mold to cover bottom; chill until firm. Arrange slices of sluffed olives for eyes; half slices of lemon dipped in paprika down back and fins of thin green pepper strips following mold design. Add gelatin to hold decoration in place and when firm, add remaining gelatin; congeal. Turn in the fish recipe above and refrigerate until firm. Un-mold. This makes 8 to 10 servings.
