SALMON MOUSSE

Category: Cold

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 (15 1/2 oz) can salmon, drained, reserving liquid
1 stalk celery, cut into 3 inch pieces
1 small onion, quartered
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and quartered
1 cup whipping or heavy cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp dill weed
1/4 tsp salt and pepper, to taste

In a medium saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over reserved liquid blended with enough water to equal 1 cup; let stand for 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.

In a 5-cup blender or food processor, process gelatin mixture, vegetables, cream, mayonnaise and lemon juice on high speed until blended. Add remaining ingredients and process until blended. Pour into mold or bowl and chill until firm. Serve with crackers.
