brown. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry.

Pour can of chicken broth in a saucepan with One fourth cup cold water and
bring to a boil. Remove from heat and mix in the gelatin. Cool to room
temperature (should remain liquid).

boil. Poach the celery 3 minutes; remove celery and poach carrot 2
minutes; remove carrot and poach squash 10 seconds. Refresh
vegetables under cold running water and set aside. Assembly: Dividing

mixture of vegetables and lettuce, covering bottom of dish. Place one
apple slice and some parsley on top, and one chicken liver in center
