Better than Jell-O — by Rebecca Wood

 

4 cups apple juice

6 tablespoons agar flakes (or 2 teaspoons agar powder or 4 teaspoons

granular agar)

2 cups fresh strawberries or other fruit except pineapple, sliced

 

Pour the juice into a saucepan and whisk in the agar. Bring to a

simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the agar is dissolved,

stirring constantly. (If you're using agar powder or granular agar

the agar will dissolve faster.) Pour the liquid into a shallow dish.

Strew with the strawberries. Allow to sit, uncovered, in a cool place

until set, about 1 hour. To expedite setting, refrigerate.

 

 

Serves 6

Here's a dessert that takes three minutes to cook and just one hour

to set. Because agar enhances other flavors, the dish will taste even

more delicious than the fruit juice and fruits you use to flavor it

with. Use a 100% organic juice (not a blend) and you'll be pleased

with this unpretentious and satisfying dessert.

Agar, or kanten, is a remarkable seaweed that not only gels but

soothes the entire digestive tract and detoxifies the body.
