5 grams Agar Jelatin
150 Water
50 grams Sugar

Instructions:

1. Soak the yellow beans obernight, steam for 45 minutes
2. Pound or blend the bean to a paste, add mix with the sugar, salt and coconut milk
3. Place into a saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously until the paste thickens, then leave it to cool
4. Now comes the artistic stage, take small pieces of the yellow bean paste, about 10gms each and form them into fruit shapes, it’s a good idea to use toothpicks and a block of foam to hold the shapes and paint them with the food colouring
5. Now to glaze, mix the agar with water and heat until the agar has fully dissolved
6. Leave it to cool slightly, but be careful not to let it set
7. Dip the fruit into the agar and stand them up by pushing the toothpick into foam or polystyrene. Let the agar set on the fruit, then repeat the process and coat the fruit again with another layer of agar. You may have to reheat the agar in the pan to melt it again each time
