1. Add unflavored gelatin to cold water to soften.

2. Heat, but do not boil, evaporated milk and remaining water. Stir in sugar to dissolve.

3. Slowly add the softened gelatin and cook, stirring, over low heat to dissolve completely.

4. Let cool slightly; then stir in almond extract. Pour into a shallow pan and refrigerate. Cut up and serve with the sweetened water and fruit garnish as in "Almond Float #1". Variation: For the evaporated milk and water, substitute 4 cups whole milk. Or else, substitute 1/2 cup condensed milk; increase the water in step 2 to 4 cups and omit the sugar.
