Scarlet Red Tomato Jelly

I aimed to recreate a jelly sold by a famous pastry shop in Hokkaido. By using agar, you can enjoy a churned texture that you couldn't when using gelatin, so I recommend using agar if you can.

This will taste unripe if you do not use fully ripened tomatoes. 
This will not turn scarlet if you don't remove the seeds. It might be a pain, but make sure to remove them completely. 
When removing the scum in Step 6, it will keep surfacing no matter how many times you skim it out, so skim out the white bubbles just once in the beginning. For 3 servings. Recipe by La Land

Ingredients    serves 3

500 grams Ripe tomato

5 grams         Agar

20 grams         Granulated sugar

30 grams         100% orange juice

1 tsp                 Lemon juice

1 tsp                 Vodka (or white wine if unavailable)

Directions:

• Mix the agar and sugar together well.
• Cut the tomatoes in half vertically, and and remove the seeds and guts with a spoon. Cut into approximate sizes, give it a whirl in a food processor, and blend into juice.

• Measure 270 g of the strained juice, and put into a pot. Add orange and lemon juice.
• Sprinkle in the agar a bit at a time so that it doesn't clump, and dissolve by stirring.
• Heat over medium and bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce to low heat, and remove the scum. Remove from heat, and add vodka (or white wine).
• Pour into containers, chill to solidify, and it is done .
