• 7 place gefilte fish mixture in a loaf/log shape on baking paper.
• 8 fold top down and fold in each side till mixture is enclosed in a loaf like shape in baking paper.
• 9 since this mixture isn't quite as stiff as the real stuff and i don't want it to leak out of the baking paper, i actually staple the folded in sides.
• 10 i then put the loaf in the freezer for at least 1 night.
• 11 boil 1 pot of water big enough to hold the loaf (needs to be wide enough and enough water to cover).

• 13 place the frozen loaf still in the baking paper into the boiling broth.
• 14 return to a boil and then let simmer about 1-1/2 hours.
• 15 remove carefully from the broth (i use 2 spatulas) and cool.

• 17 remove baking paper.
• 18 refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• 19 slice and serve with sliced carrot.
• 20 warning: when the loaf is boiling it does not have the best smell.
• 21 do not worry, it will taste great.
• 22 hint: i always double the recipe and just pull it out of the freezer to prepare when i want to.
