Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 cup Cold water
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Fruit juice or flavored liquid
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for regular)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (for sugar-free)
• 0 Optional: Fresh fruit or toppings

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized heatproof mixing bowl, add the unflavored gelatin powder and pour the cold water over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.

Step 2

While the gelatin is blooming, boil 2 cups of water in a kettle or saucepan.

Step 3

Once the gelatin has bloomed, carefully pour the boiling water over the gelatin mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Add your fruit juice or flavored liquid to the bowl and stir well to combine.

Step 5

If making regular jello, stir in the granulated sugar until it is dissolved. If making sugar-free jello, stir in the granulated sugar substitute until dissolved.

Step 6

Optional: If you'd like to add fresh fruit, ensure the fruit is cut into small pieces and has been patted dry. Gently fold the fruit into the liquid mixture.

Step 7

Pour the jello mixture into a 9x9-inch glass dish or individual serving containers.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the dish or containers to the refrigerator. Allow the jello to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 9

Once set, serve the jello as is or garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or toppings of choice.
