1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 to 2 tsp. almond extract
1 c. fruit

Dissolve gelatin in 1/2 cup water. Bring evaporated milk, water and sugar to just below boiling point. Add gelatin to hot mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Cool. Add almond extract. Pour into molds and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Cut into cubes. Place in small bowls. Arrange fruits over gelatin. Litchis and peaches make a good combination. Lungan also. Fruit cocktail drained is another good addition. Top with red cherry.

COMMENTARY: This is a refreshing dessert after a hearty meal. It can be made ahead of time.
