Cook's notes

You can use any fruit you like with this.

Agar Agar is an absolutely tasteless sea vegetable that acts exactly like gelatin. It has a lot of minerals and is a marvelous alternative to traditional gelatin made from bones and hooves. Most Asian markets stock it in stick form and this is the most inexpensive way to purchase it. You can also find it in flakes at most natural food stores but this is more expensive. Eden sells circle U kosher flakes and bars which are found at natural food stores or at Eden Foods.

Only add sweetener if you are using very sour fruit like raspberries, strawberries or apricots. For blueberries, peaches or cherries, no need to add sweetener.

Ingredients

3 c frozen fruit
up to 1/3 c honey, or agave syrup (optional)
2 1/4 sticks agar agar or 3/4 cup agar agar flakes

Steps

• Place the frozen fruit over a medium flame in a sauce pan.
• When thawed, add agar agar and optional sweetener. Bring to a boil and stir briskly until agar agar is completely dissolved and blended in with the fruit.
• Remove to a bowl and chill. The filling must be completely chilled and hard in order to use.
