1 [1-tablespoon / 15-mL] pack unflavoured gelatin 1/2 cup [125 mL] cold water 1 cup [250 mL] boiling water 1 tablespoon [15 mL] soy sauce Assorted open-face sandwiches Variation Garlic powder

Into a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; allow to stand until gelatine is moistened. Pour in boiling water, stirring constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in soy sauce. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Meanwhile, layer bread slices onto wire racks, onto a cookie sheet. Garnish bread slices to your liking. Carefully spoon glaze over garnishings, to completely cover; chill until set. Variation Add a generous dash garlic powder to gelatin mixture.
