½ can of tomatoes, 3 cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1 slice onion, ½ teaspoonful thyme, 1 teaspoonful salt, 1 teaspoonful sugar, pinch of pepper, ¼ box or ½ ounce of gelatine soaked in ½ cup of water. Boil together the tomatoes, spices and onion until the tomato is soft, then add gelatine and stir until the gelatine is thoroughly mixed. Then strain and pour it into a ring-shaped mold to set. Serve with the center of the jelly-ring filled with celery cut into pieces or curled and mixed with mayonnaise. Form outside the ring a wreath of curled lettuce.
