Homemade "jello" (Gelatine)
"I got this from a friend who is following the Feingold diet. We are trying to cut out artificial flavoring and coloring. This lets my kids eat jello, one of their favorites, without the added coloring. Cook time is refrigeration time."

Thank you for a all natural recipe for fruit gelatin. -
Great recipe! Used left over extra light syrup from canning plums to make plum jello with bits of plum floating in it! Can't wait to try other flavors! I doubled the recipe and it still worked really well. -
Made my own "juice" (limeade?) by mixing 3/4 cup of lime juice from our tree with 1 and 1/4 cup water. I added 1/2 cup sugar and it made a more tart, but lightly sweet lime jello, with the most incredible flavor. I could see all kinds of possibilities for this recipe. Make sure you love the flavor of the juice you use, since that is the entire flavor of your final product. -
This was GREAT! We used Juicy Juice Kiwi Strawberry as well and used 1 tablespoon of honey. Yummy! We'll be making this all summer long. Thanks! -
Thanks for posting, WI Cheesehead! This one's a definite keeper - I used Juicy Juice Strawberry Kiwi - made perfect Jello! I'll be using this recipe many times in the future - was especially enjoyed by my 3 kids with sore throats today! :) Prepared and reviewed for Aussie/New Zealand Recipe Swap March 2008.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
