13 -14cmagar agar strands [5.5 inches, 9g], (or 3 teaspoons agar powder, or 3 tablespoons agar flakes)
250mlwater[1 cup]

200gripe jackfruit pods[4 - 5 pods] i.e the flesh around the seeds
3 - 4tablespoonsmaple syrupoptional, or other sweetener to taste

Instructions
If using strawberries, slice them and line the ramekins, moulds or small jars. Set the ramekins aside.
Discard the syrup from the jackfruit and use only the fruit. Tear them into coarse pieces and add to a blender. Add about half of the milk and process to a liquid. Then add in the rest of the milk and stir.
Place the agar and the water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil until agar is completely dissolved.
Meanwhile, in a small cup mix about one cup of the blender jackfruit and milk mixture with the cornstarch. Set aside.
Once agar is dissolved, add the jackfruit and milk mixture to the saucepan. Then give the cornstarch mixture a stir first if it has deposited at the bottom, and add it to the saucepan. Stir immediately.
Taste the mixture and add the maple syrup (if required) to taste.
Let the mixture simmer over medium-high heat. Stir gently and slowly and almost constantly when mixture starts to heat up to avoid lumps.
Once mixture reaches a rolling boil, remove from the heat and immediately pour into the ramekins.
Keep in an undisturbed place and allow to cool completely before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
To demould, place the ramekins in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. The jelly will loosen around the edges. Then, turn it onto a serving plate. Serve cold accompanied with some fresh pieces of jackfruit or other fruits.
