Meanwhile for the syrup
mix water with Agar-agar and let it stand for that hour

Then place it on the stove over med heat and stir till it boils then add sugar and cook it for about 10mins or till the syrup is 110F on the sugar thermometer or when you pick up the spatula from the mix the syrup hands like strings of syrup hanging from the spatula

A couple mins in to cooking the syrup place the bowl with the puree on the mixer and start beating it
