gelatin

Springtime is cherry blossom season, and I can’t think of a more perfect treat to represent hanami than this pretty Sakura Jelly, or Kin-gyoku. This was made by bananagranola, from Osaka, and it has real cherry blossoms in it. I wish I could have a taste!

Many thanks to bananagranola for allowing me to share her photo here!

I found the colors of these Thai desserts irresistible! I’m not usually a big fan of gelatin desserts, but these are much more interesting than the Jell-O I’m used to seeing, here in the midwestern United States. I admit, I don’t know what these taste like, but I imagine them as being light, cool, fruity, and sweet — probably perfect for hot weather. No matter what the flavors, they are certainly a treat for the eyes!
