Questions

How long does Almond Jelly keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Almond Jelly?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
