Osmanthus and Chestnut Jelly

Jellies using osmanthus are really beautiful and easy.  I love the color from the osmanthus but have shelved until now as I wasn't sure what is the taste of osmanthus.  Last week end somebody make this osmanthus jelly and I got to try it at last.  
 
I love it and I don't find any strong smell or taste of the osmanthus.  Pretty don't you think so? :)

  9. That looks very pretty. I'll probably eat a dozen and skip lunch :D A friend gave me a pack of osmanthus recently but haven't used it yet. Wish I can get konyyaku jelly powder here. I think it's banned here in UK cos of the risk of choking. Maybe I can use agar agar instead.
