HALLOWEEN SLUG SALAD (HAM SALAD WITH ASPIC)
Ewww! Slug Salad! This is actually a good ham salad recipe covered in aspic. Once people cut into him and got over the fact that it looks so gross, they actually enjoyed it! I got this recipe from Easy Home Cooking Magazine a few years back. I changed it a bit to suite our taste. This will be the hit recipe at your Halloween...

Steps:
- 1. Mix ham,celery,carrots,relish and mayonnaise in bowl.
- 2. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small pan. Let stand one minute. Heat softened gelatin over low heat until dissolve, stirring constantly. Cool slightly and mix into ham salad. Chill.
- 3. Cut out a large slug shape from cardboard (or pizza take out box); cover with foil. Mold ham salad into slug shape on cardboard, pressing tightly to form; refrigerate.
- 4. FOR THE ASPIC: (the skin of the slug) in large bowl, sprinkle remaining gelatin over 1 cup cold tomato juice;let stand 1 minute. In a large sauce pan, heat remaining 3 cups tomato juice to a simmer. Pour hot juice in bowl over gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt, let cool,then chill until thick but not set. Place chilled slug on wire rack set over baking sheet to catch excess aspic. Slowly spoon 1/2 tomato aspic over ham mold; reserve remainder at room temperature.
- 5. Refrigerate ham slug mold for 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and pour aspic over slug to cover evenly. Chill 1 hour, or until firm.
- 6. Black olive bugs: Optional: Because, you know, the slug salad isnt gross enough! :) Make a clear gelatin mixture with 2 teaspoons gelatin in 1/2 cup water. Pour into small cups (mini muffin tins work well) press black olives with carrot slices for legs into gelatin. Chill until firm.
