- "I'm not a huge fan of jellies, but these were really good. They're not too sweet and the fruit flavor is really refreshing." - Mark
Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have individual molds or ramekins, you can pour the jelly mixture into a 9-inch square baking pan. Once firm, cut into squares or diamonds to serve.
- You can adjust the sweetness of the jellies by adding more or less sugar.
- To make sure the gelatin blooms properly, make sure the cold water is not too cold. It should be just cool to the touch.
