Indulge your family with a delicious almond jelly topped with fresh fruit - a crowd favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 3 gold-strength gelatine leaves (see note)
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 300ml pure (thin) cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
  • Fruit salad (such as honey dew, mango and pawpaw), to serve
  • Mint leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Prep a day ahead by soaking gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes. Next, gently heat 90g caster sugar with 200ml cold water. Squeeze gelatine to remove excess water, then stir into the syrup until dissolved. Combine cream, almond extract, and 100ml water in a bowl. Mix in gelatine syrup, then pour into a 20cm round pan. Chill covered overnight until set.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining 130g of sugar, vanilla pod and seeds, and 1/2 cup (125ml) of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then simmer without stirring for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Allow to cool, discard the pod. Arrange the fruit on serving plates, cut the jelly into triangles, and place on top of the fruit. Drizzle with the vanilla syrup and garnish with mint before serving.
