This
tantalizing fresh orange Jello (jelly) is set with agar-agar,
a vegetable-based alternative to gelatin that is extracted
from a special type of seaweed.
 |
| 2
cups fresh orange juice |
| 3
teaspoons agar-agar powder |
| 1
tablespoon superfine (caster) sugar |
| 12
canned lychees |
| 1
cup canned pineapple pieces in natural juice (reserving
4 tablespoons of juice) |
PLACE
the orange juice in a small saucepan and sprinkle the agar-agar
evenly over the surface. BRING to the boil slowly over a medium-high
heat, without stirring, and boil for 5 minutes. ADD the sugar
and stir until it dissolves, then remove from the heat. POUR
the mixture into a shallow square/rectangular container. CHILL
in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 2 hours until set.
CUT the orange agar-agar into cubes and serve in the middle
of each bowl surrounded by the lychees and pineapple and drizzled
with the reserved juice.
