- Rinse two 24-inch square pieces of cheesecloth.Wring out cheesecloth; layer pieces in a large glass bowl. Pour puree into cheesecloth; gather up ends, and cinch with kitchen twine. Tie ends of cloth together to make a loop. Hang sack from a cupboard door, placing bowl directly underneath to collect juices.
- Let drain at least 1 hour; liquid will be pale. Transfer it to a large glass measuring cup, and set aside.

TOMATO ASPIC
Classic tomato aspic - can be served as a first course as is, or with the addition of shrimp,crabmeat and/or avocado. Serve with home made mayonnaise - Recipe #441844. Please do not use store bought mayonnaise with this dish. Also, you mush use full-fat brick cream cheese - do not use low fat cream cheese or the type which comes in tubs - if you do the cream cheese layer will not set properly. When it comes to the celery, what you really want to use is the leaves from the celery; Food.com wouldn't let me list that as an ingredient, but that's what you should use. I use Gold's prepared fresh grated horseradish in this recipe. It can be found in the refrigerated section. If you cannot find the packets of Knox gelatin, the amount of bulk unflavored gelatin to use is one ounce.This should be made the day before you wish to serve it - the aspic needs to be refrigerated overnight in order to set. "Cooking Time" is refrigeration time.

TOMATO ASPIC
Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, puree the tomatoes and jalapeño until smooth. Line a large bowl with a double layer of cheesecloth. Transfer the puree to the prepared bowl. With kitchen twine, tie the cheesecloth to enclose the tomato puree; tie the bundle to a large wooden spoon. Rest the spoon across the top of a stockpot or deep jar, letting the juices drip into the pot for about 3 hours. Pour the tomato water through a fine chinois or sieve into a bowl. Add salt; stir to combine.
- Place 1/2 cup cold water in a small heatproof bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water; set aside 5 minutes to soften. Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer; place the bowl of gelatin over it. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved; remove the bowl from heat. Stir in some of the tomato water to reduce the temperature, then stir all of the gelatin mixture into the remaining tomato water.
TOMATO ASPIC
Steps:
- Lightly grease eight to ten 8-ounce individual molds or custard cups.
- Place the tomatoes, onion, celery, bay leaves, garlic, and cloves in a large saucepan with 1/2 cup of the water and stir to mix. Bring to a low boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and skimming the rising foam as needed. Remove from the heat and strain, discarding the bay leaves and cloves, then pushing the pulp through a sieve to make 4 to 5 cups of juice. Add the lemon zest and juice, sugar, vinegar, basil, and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.
- Return the juice to the saucepan, bring to a boil, and reduce by about 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a low boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Combine the gelatin with the remaining 1/4 cup water in a large bowl and stir to mix. Pour the hot juice over the gelatin mixture and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Remove the basil and place the pan of juice in the water bath to fully cool, stirring regularly for even coloring and texture.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared molds, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the aspic sets up and is firm.
- To unmold the aspics, run a knife around the outside edge of the molds and set in a pan of warm water for 15 to 20 seconds to loosen. Invert onto a plate or platter and serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and less juice.
- If you don't have time to make your own tomato aspic, you can use store-bought. Look for a brand that uses fresh tomatoes and has a good flavor.
- Let the aspic chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give it time to set and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the aspic with a variety of garnishes, such as lemon slices, parsley, or chives.
- Aspic can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Layered lemon tomato aspic is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, a side dish, or a main course, this aspic is sure to be a hit.
