Almond jelly♥

Hi everyone!!


Do you like Alomond jelly??


Almond jelly?! What's that?!


If you have not heard it, you might be confused,

but you definitely know it!!






It's "Annin-dofu".









Almond jelly is sweet and it is known as a chinese dessert in Japan.


However, it has been used as remedy in China.

Alomond jelly is made from seed of apricot which can be a medicine for asthma.

The seed is pounded to make almond jelly, but it taste really really bitter, so it is flavored sweeter to eat. It is Almond jelly.


Actually, Almond jelly sold in Japan don't contain that bitter powder because it is not used for remedy but as a dessert, it contains almond essence instead of it. That's why it is called "Almond Jelly".

The reason why alomond essence is used instead of it is the flavor of almond and apricot is similar.


In addition, it's so simple to make it at home.

I'll get the recipe and try to make it soon:)
