(This recipe was modified from this one on .) Benefits of Homemade Jello This recipe turned out so beautifully that I just needed to get it out on my blog. I just haven't gotten around to it yet but I'm sure I will :-).)

You can make this with agar agar as well. (For all you vegans out there, I encourage you to stick around. I've made it following a few different recipes, but we recently tried it with lemon and lime juice and these versions were super refreshing (and candida friendly too!) Good thing gelatin doesn't spoil :-).ДЄnyway, at some point, in my 'making my own version of processed foods' trials and errors, I ended up making 'Knox Blocks' (or generic 'gelatin blocks') for my kids whenever they've been sick and nothing else will calm their tummies, or as a treat when they've wanted something a little special. So I bought it and had the rest of the packets sitting in my pantry for a long time.Дon't ask how long. I'm sure it was probably an ingredient in a recipe that I wanted to try. Well,В a number of years ago, I bought brand name and generic brand gelatin for some reason or another. So none of those itsy bitsy containers of sugar and artificial dye-laden boxes that cost about $1.10 or so for 1 batch of not-so-good-for-you stuff. 'Cause you know- I'm the type of mom who never buys much of anything packaged and processed. Why would someone pay over $5 per pound for a little box made up of mostly sugar, a teensy bit of gelatin, artificial color and flavor? 'Jello' is one of those things that has always perplexed me. So when I found a way to make homemade 'JELLO' - I was thrilled! Some of our favorites are vegetable broth powder, homemade ketchup, homemade gummy snacks, taco seasoning, natural blue food coloring, homemade chocolate chips and homemade white chocolate chips. I love making homemade healthier versions of processed foods.
