Almond Jelly

My club was selling food at a fair to fundraise last weekend. By the time we started to clean up, we still had a big can of fruit cocktail leftover. After contemplating for awhile about what we should do with it, I finally thought, I could make some almond jelly! A nice cold bowl of almond jelly is a refreshing dessert, perfect to eat during that typical hot summer day. 

Ingredients
2 Knox gelatin packets
1 3/4 cup water
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp almond extract
1 can fruit cocktail in light syrup

Instructions
1. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in gelatin until dissolved. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
2. Mix in the milk and almond extract.
3. Pour into a shallow container. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. 
4. Cut the almond jelly into small cubes. Scoop fruit cocktail and its syrup and mix gently with the almond jelly cubes. Serve cold.
