Lychee And Longan Konnyaku Jelly

Belinda came by one day and brought a bag of red fresh lychees and i was all excited that such ripe lychees are available here but was dissappointed when i tasted one, they were sweet but not as juicy. I have to make something with them as i know that i will the only one in the house who will eat them. So, i removed the seeds and passed the flesh through a food-mill to extract the juice. I had a tiny glass of fresh lychee juice which brought me back to the 60's where i used to order lychee drink which was so good and refreshing. I knew it came from a blue can and wonder if this blue can of lychee juice is still available. Must look for it the next time i visit the asian store. The rest of the juice was made into jelly with dried longan for added texture and constrast of colors.
