Fruit Kanten (Vegan Jello)
Looking
for a cool and refreshing treat that is a little lens into how vegans
ate desserts back in the 1990s and before we discovered everything?
Welcome to the wonderful world of kanten! Fruit kantens are a
traditional Japanese dessert adopted by the macrobiotics and brought to
the west. Reminiscent of jello - but without the intense sweetness -
kantens use agar powder to jell together. Choose the fruit of your
preference - berries go great with it - and enjoy a simple little
treat.

Fruit Kanten (Vegan Jello)
4 cups apple juice
4 teaspoons agar powder
1 ½ cups assorted small pieces of fruit (I used blackberries, raspberries and sliced bananas)
In
a medium pan, bring the apple juice and agar powder to boil over medium
temperature. This will take 5 - 6 minutes. Whisk to make sure the agar
dissolves and it doesn’t clump. Once boiling, lower the temperature and
cook two more minutes.
Get a pan ready for pouring in the apple juice mixture. For me, a 9-X-9
baking dish was perfect. Pour in the juice and scatter the fruit on
top. Put in the fridge for at least one over until it sets.
