"I use canned lychees for Taiwanese jelly cakes, sorbets, martinis, and simple gelatin desserts, like the Fuzhou-style one in [my cookbook] All Under Heaven. These cans are always gorgeous no matter the brand, but I love the old-fashioned style of this Taiwanese one so much that I use it to hold pencils or spoons."
