Introduction: MYO Gelatin Fruit Snacks
Do your kids and grandkids like fruit snacks? Have you ever been caught without any on hand? I don’t want to think about it. Here is a simple yet delicious recipe to make your own (MYO) gelatin fruit snacks using just 3 ingredients. I found this recipe here: http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/06/homemade-jello-fruit-snacks-recipe.html, but I made it in the microwave instead of on the stove top. Here we go!
Step 1:
Ingredients and Supplies:
1 (3 oz.) package gelatin, any flavor
2 (.25 oz.) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/3 c. water
1 quart bowl
Rubber scraper
Ice cube tray (I got this one at IKEA for $.99)
Microwave oven
1 (3 oz.) package gelatin, any flavor
2 (.25 oz.) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/3 c. water
1 quart bowl
Rubber scraper
Ice cube tray (I got this one at IKEA for $.99)
Microwave oven
Step 2:
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the water in a 1 quart bowl.
Step 3:
Add the flavored gleltin.
Step 4:
Place the bowl in the microwave, and run on high for 30 seconds.
Step 5:
Remove from microwave and stir (be careful it’s HOT!).
Step 6:
Reheat at 30 second increments, stirring after each 30 seconds, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. My micowave only took 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Step 7:
Pour into the ice cube tray and let set for 1 hour, or 20 minutes in the fridge.
Step 8:
Pop the set gelatin fruit snacks out of the tray. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut them into smaller, bite size pieces.
They look good. They taste good. They have the right texture. Okay now to wait for the real test:
