Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to let the unflavored gelatin stand for 1 minute before stirring in the boiling water. This will help prevent the gelatin from clumping.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller or larger dish. Just adjust the amount of gelatin you use accordingly.
- For a fun twist, you can add other ingredients to the Jell-O mixture, such as marshmallows, chopped nuts, or even gummy bears.
- If you're using fresh fruit, be sure to wash and dry it thoroughly before adding it to the gelatin mixture.
- Gelatin is a great way to use up leftover fruit. Just add your favorite fruits to the Jell-O mixture and you've got a delicious and healthy treat.
- Gelatin is also a good source of protein. It's a great way to add some extra protein to your diet, especially if you're a vegetarian or vegan.
