  • one cup of chopped bermuda onion
  • one-half cupful of sugar
  • one cup of vinegar
  • two cups of boiling water
  • a cupful of water
  • one large green pepper shredded fine

Directions

1

Take two cups of fine cut cabbage, one cup of chopped Bermuda onion, half a can of chopped pimentos, and one large green pepper shredded fine. Mix one-half cupful of sugar and one tablespoonful of salt with one cup of vinegar, pour over the above mixture, and let stand for an hour.

2

Soak one box of gelatin in a cupful of water for ten minutes, add two cups of boiling water, and let it stand until it begins to harden. Drain the vinegar off the potpourri and mix well with the gelatin. Place in a border mould to harden. Turn out on a platter, and garnish with lettuce leaves. Make a cup in the center of the lettuce leaves and fill with mayonnaise and whipped cream. Garnish with parsley.
