DAUBE GLACE 
2 lbs. beef round roast
1 1/2 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 tsp. cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
2 lg. cloves garlic, sliced
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
1 c. chopped celery leaves
1/2 c. chopped parsley
2 lg. onions, chopped
2 c. hot water
4 tbsp. gelatin
1/2 c. cold water

Cut excess fat from roast. Brown meat slowly on all sides. Place seasonings on top of roast, in order listed. Add hot water, bring to a boil, covered. Simmer until meat is fork tender (4 hours).

Remove meat, chill, then shred or slice. Pour gravy through cheesecloth. Pour hot water through vegetables in cheesecloth to yield 3 1/2 cups gravy. Soften gelatin in cold water. Dissolve in 1 cup hot gravy, stir into chilled gravy. Pour 1/2 cup into 1 1/2 quart mold which has been rinsed with ice water. Chill until thick. Chill remaining gelatin gravy. Combine with shredded meat, pour into mold. Refrigerate until set.

If meat is sliced, alternate layers of meat and gelatin gravy. Allow each layer to thicken. Serves: 12.

This was absolutely superb. Just as I grew-up with. Although timely, it was a little easier to make than my grandmother's recipe. I have spiked it up a little with more seasonings, depending on the event, but mainly this recipe stands by itself. I make little toasted bread rounds and it is delicious.
