Cook this recipe
- whole milk-2 cups
- granulated sugar-0.33 cups
- cold water-0.25 cups
- unflavored gelatin-2.25 tsp
- almond extract-1 tsp
- vanilla extract-0.25 tsp
- fine salt-0.13 tsp
- canned mandarin oranges in light syrup-1 can
Drain the mandarin oranges over a bowl, reserve 1/2 cup syrup, and refrigerate the oranges until serving.
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the cold water in a small bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes until spongy.
In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the milk is steaming but not boiling.
Keep the milk below a boil and stir often to prevent scorching.
Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the baking dish, cool for 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until fully set, about 4 hours.
Cut the chilled almond jelly into small cubes, spoon into bowls, and top with the mandarin oranges and reserved syrup.
Cut on a stable surface and keep fingers clear of the knife blade.
