Foundation Agar Gelatin
By Hklbrries
Haven't tried this yet myself but thought it might be fun to experiment with as we don't use gelatin
- 1 pint of liquid
- 2 tbsp fine granulated sugar
- Flavorings, prepared vegetables or fruits as desired (did not mention limit)
- Honey, to taste (if a sweet gelatin desired)
- Bring 1 pint of liquid to boiling point, then stir in 2 Tbsp. fine granulated agar; simmer until dissolved. Cool slightly and add flavorings, prepare vegetables, fruits as desired, and chill.
- If a sweet gelatin is desired use slightly warmed honey, the amount varying to taste. Always dissolve agar before adding anything sweet.
- Two level Tablespoons granulated agar will thicken 1 pt. of liquid and equals 1 pkg. gelatin. Powdered agar–1 level tsp. to 1 cup liquid.
