The greatest and simplest dish I’ve ever tried. Pancetta may be found at any reputable Italian deli; avoid using a replacement as it would ruin the dish. Shrimp added in the final few minutes of boiling makes this dish even better. Add a couple of dashes of red pepper flakes if you like things spicy.

Ingredients
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages unflavored gelatin (such as Knox ®)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, undrained
Instructions
- Whisk the sugar into the milk in a mixing bowl until dissolved. Sprinkle the gelatin over top, and let stand for 1 minute to soften. Whisk the boiling water and almond extract into the gelatin mixture until the gelatin has dissolved. Pour into a 7-inch square pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
- Once firm, cut the gelatin into 1-inch squares, and place into a mixing bowl. Gently stir in the mandarin oranges and their juice to serve.
