Ingredients for Almond Jello

  • 3 cups evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • Unflavored Gelatin
  • 4 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail

How to Make Almond Jello

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons almond extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 cups evaporated milk and 2 teaspoons almond extract.
  4. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the warm gelatin mixture, stirring constantly until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a medium-sized bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  6. Once firm, cut the jello into cubes. Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, including the juice.
  7. Mix lightly and serve chilled. Garnish with slivered almonds (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
