In a 1-quart saucepan, mix gelatin and 1 cup of the skim milk; let stand for 1 minute. Add sugar. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves.
Stir in remaining 1 cup skim milk, almond extract and vanilla. Pour into four 6-ounce custard cups or dessert dishes or 1/2 -cup molds. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or until set.
To serve, unmold onto individual dessert plates if desired. Top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the preserves.
