Lychee gelee

Hello Gelophiles,

The first time my friend Steve handed me a lychee, I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. They're rather hard to describe:  round, red, scaly-  roughly the size and texture of an eyeball. Okay, they're easy to describe, in an unappetizing manner.  But once you get past the novelty it's the most delicious and refreshing fruit! 

Here are some gelatin shots that I made using canned lychee.  I missed Lychee season which is May through July but canned is perfect for a gelatin based treat.

A Sculpted Rodin

Hello gelophiles,

In honor of a great friend,  I used this bundt mold to make a peach-themed gelatin shot.  As his name is Rodin, it was only fitting that the gelatin be both structurally and taste budfully satisfying.

The sculpted Rodin was my first attempt at embedding fruit in layers.  It took about four hours to create and an additional 6 hours to completely gel, but it was worth it.
