For Jell-O with fruit juice

Directions

Bloom the gelatin

  1. Put the water is a pan and sprinkle the gelatin over it.
  2. Let is sit for about 5 minutes until it looks like “applesauce” and stir.
  3. Make the Jell-O:
  4. Mix in sweetener and Kool-aid powder

Turn the induction burner to 180 degrees F

  1. Stir occasionally while the mixture heats up until thoroughly dissolved (about 2 to 3 minutes)
  2. Remove from heat, pour into containers, and Chill until firm

Notes

1 Cup liquid to 1/2 tablespoon beef gelatin

You should always add gelatin to cold liquid first to “bloom” it, letting it absorb water and swell (like applesauce), then stir the bloomed gelatin into a warm or hot (not boiling) liquid to fully dissolve it for a smooth set; boiling water can damage gelatin’s structure, making it weak or ineffective. I find 180 degrees F on the induction burner works perfect.
