Method :
- Place the water and sugar
in a small pan.
- Sprinkle over the
agar-agar powder.
- Bring the mixture to the
boil and simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the
heat and add the evaporated milk and almond essence.
- Pour the mixture into a
shallow 18 X 28 cm pan to set.
- Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Cut the jelly into diamond
shapes, and serve with the fruit.
Note : Agar-agar is similar
to gelatin but does not need refrigeration to help it set. If it is
not available, use 3 teaspoons of gelatin sprinkled over 1/2 cup of
cold water to soften. Stir the gelatin mixture into the water and
sugar mixture, bring to the boil, then remove it from the heat.
There is no need to simmer. Proceed with the method as above but
refrigerate the jelly for 5 hours instead.
