Molecular Fruit Salad on Honey Sheets

I finally bought a molecular gastronomy kit and it arrived in the mail today! I was so excited that I started using the recipes right away. Because the only technique that I have ever used was gelification, I decided to stick to gelification recipes for today. One of the recipes that I noticed was honey wraps. After making them I realized I needed something to put on top of it. I figured fruit would go well with the honey so I made pearls out of a liquid that was basically a fruit smoothie. Enjoy!

Step 1: Ingredients and Materials

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
2 fruits and Apple Juice ( I chose bananas and strawberries but anything is ok)
honey
water
1-2 packets of agar agar

Materials:
Syringe
Tray
Jar
Collander
2 pans

Hello! Can you please let me know how much agar agar is in 1 of your packets? Thanks!

That honey sheet looks tasty! How do you think the taste compares with just straight honey?

The honey sheets taste a lot like real honey but the texture is very different. Agar agar has no flavor so adding it to foods doesn't change the taste.

You could easily make mock salmon roe sushi.

Use food coloring to make the honey sheets a color similar to nori (the seaweed wrap used in sushi). Then use a banana slice or something to make the "rice", maybe a touch of peanut butter for the wasabi, top with fruit caviar/"roe", and voila!

Great idea!
