Aspic anyone?

Last night I made stir-fry using a store-bought sweet and sour sauce mix. I followed the recipe exactly and got what tasted just like Grandma Downey's tomato aspic. I thought you might like a recipe for this interesting childhood memory. Lemon jello seems to be the base ingredient in all the versions that I looked at. Enjoy!

WE'RE PUSHING TOMATO ASPIC
3 med. carrots, shredded
3 med. celery stalks, shredded
1 tbsp. white onion, shredded
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. horseradish
1/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 c. tomato juice
1 (6 oz.) pkg. Jello, lemon flavored

I remember there was a large portion of Aspic left. Grandma offered to give me a quarter if I finished it off. I didn't know that I could say "I decline with thanks".

Ahhh, such memories. Does it say anything that I have never made aspic?
