Ingredients

• 2 packets Unflavored gelatin
• 0.5 cup Cold water
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.25 cup Distilled white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Prepared mustard
• 12 ounces Corned beef (canned), flaked
• 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the boiling water with the bloomed gelatin and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and prepared mustard to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Do not let it set completely.

Step 5

Once the gelatin mixture is cooled, fold in the flaked corned beef, chopped celery, green bell pepper, and onion.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mayonnaise until evenly incorporated, being careful not to break up the texture too much.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

To unmold, gently loosen the edges with a knife, then dip the bottom of the mold into warm water for a few seconds. Invert onto a serving plate and lift the mold carefully.

Step 11

Serve chilled as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
