Ingredients for Prickly Pear Gel:
- 850 g The Perfect Puree Prickly Pear Puree, thawed
- 150 g water
- 400 g sugar
- 14 g agar-agar
- 2 g salt
- 10 g white vinegar
Method for Prickly Pear Gel:
1. In a sauce pot over medium to high heat combine all the ingredients together with a whisk, using a spatula scrape the sides while the liquid is cooking to catch all the agar. Once the mixture comes to a boil, whisk for two or more minutes to allow the agar to bloom.
2. Transfer the liquid to the refrigerator to cool. Once the mixture has obtained a jelly-like consistency, using a mixer or blender, blend until smooth. Use a pastry bag to apply or simply pour in layers.
