Artificial Aspic (Aspic artificiel ) If no aspic is at hand, artificial will do in place of it. Put three tablespoons dissolved Cox’s gelatine in a cup; fill the cup three- quarters full with hot water; add one tablespoonful sherry and a pinch of salt. If the aspic is wanted in a shade of brown, color with a little beef extract; if wanted a tomato shade, color with the Burnett’s orange and red coloring; if a green shade is wanted, color with some parsley
