Pick Your Flavor Homemade Jello Gelatin

"This is even better than the real Jello! using juice in place of water will intensify the flavor even more, for orange jello use orange juice etc --- for sugar-free use a sugar substitute in place of sugar --- you will need to experiment with the the amount of sugar to suit you taste, my family likes it sweet so I use 1 cup you may wish to reduce amount to 3/4 or slightly less --- have fun with this and choose different flavors :)"

  1. Wow! This is the best Jello ever! I had one package of Knox that's been sitting in my cupboard for a long time. I was browsing the site to find something to do with it. This was perfect! I used a cup of orange Koolaid (instead of water) in addtion to the packet of orange Koolaid. (I thought about mixing flavors, but I really like orange.) It came out orangey delicious! My boyfriend thinks it's super sweet, but I think it's perfect. (He has to water down Koolaid as it is.) Thanks so much for posting this great idea!
