Fruity Macaroons

4 cups flaked coconut
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 small box gelatin (strawberry, raspberry or desired flavor)

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly, making sure gelatin is blended evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
