I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It's so pretty. It takes all day. It's one of my favorite things about Easter.
I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.
Ha. Sorry. For beginners using unflavored gelatin I would recommend the Knox brand packets that are sold next to the regular Jello boxes. They are highly refined and don't have any um... surprising smells... ? The big 2lb jars of unflavored supplement gelatin can be a bit strong when you first add boiling water, but it goes away entirely once it is set in the fridge or dissolved in tea. I could see that putting someone entirely off jello if they were already iffy.
My very favorite is mulberry juice jello, but the only place that sold mulberry juice near me stopped carrying it a couple years back. It's on amazon, but I can't bring myself to buy juice on amazon. Tart cherry is a good sub. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Juice-Black-Mulberry-Organic/dp/B00J49VLMO/
Thanks! I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello but I'll try the Knox brand first. Two pounds sounds like a lot but what do I know? I'm gonna try coconut 😋
You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?
Which begs the question, why haven’t you had your colonoscopy? You are too old to not have had one and jello in an acceptable color is on the okay foods list.
I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it's good for them
Help yourself, your pets will love you for it. A couple of tips if you don't mind: I boil the rotisserie chicken carcass (or any kind of meat and bones) for 10 hours on very low heat and covered. It takes that long to extract nutrients. You can use canned stuff but it's full of salt. I pour the whole thing into a pie tin (with gelatin) and sprinkle molasses yeast flakes on top. You can find this at health food stores. It's got lots of nutritional benefits and if your pet ever suffers from a lack of appetite a little on top of their food may help. A little bit goes a long way. Bon appetit!
Do you mixed the canned fruit into the jello so it's suspended in there when it solidifies? My mum always made that when I was growing up. She topped it with mini marshmallows.
The last time I made Jello I think I was like 22 or 23, so probably around 2004. I was at a party at my friend's house that had fizzled down to about 5 people pretty early. That's when someone had the great idea to make Jello shots... I prepared the Jello on the stove, but my friend Mary actually assembled the shots. She did not mention to anyone that she used Everclear and added almost double what the recipe called for. Anyway, she put them in the fridge and then promptly forgot about them... Until we ran out of beer. Then someone remembered. They weren't completely set, which at the time we attributed to them not getting chilled long enough. In truth, there was so much pure alcohol in those shots that they wouldn't have ever set even if we kept them in the freezer overnight! Assuming we were immortal, as drunk people in their early 20s tend to do, we heroicly downed about 4 of them each before we realized how strong they were... Most of the rest of that night is a blur of laughter, spinning lights, and eventually a soft couch and oblivion.
That was probably about the 2nd or 3rd most drunk I've ever been before or since, and definitely top 5 worst hangovers lol
Sounds familiar, only that we went for some bottom shelf vodka. I believe I was 21, was at the very end of my bachelor's degree. Probably around July/August 2005.
I will never make Jello for as long as I live. I feel like there's some kind of dark, horrible secret behind its creation, like it's made of ground up roaches and goat phlegm or something, and I just don't want to know.
Yeah that's kinda mean. I have a certain phobia and I hate it so much when I am being vulnerable and let people in on it and then they try to talk me out of it or say "x is not that bad!" Or talk about it or joke or even think it's cool to expose me to it like they are a fucking therapist. Ok, you just didn't want to know the jello secret, that's not exactly a crippling phobia, but it's still a mean move.
If it is a consolation to you, there is vegan jello.
I personally find gelatin a great way to use up more of the animal, and it's not bugs or anything like that, if you eat pork or beef that's really an ok product imo. It's not even offal. Bones also have other usage in cuisine, but in case you don't want to know I'll leave that out.
Anyway, back to vegan jello. It's made with agar agar, which is basically a polymer extracted from algae, instead of gelatine. Tastes good! Highly recommend.
I'm mid 40's and I literally just finished making jello with my elementary school aged daughter. We're still waiting for it to solidify. Last time we did it a few weeks ago we used cold water and it solidified pretty quickly.
I made parfait (or whatever the jello, whipped cream, walnuts and fruit thing is actually called) for a potluck at work once when I was 19. That was the last time I ever made Jello. I am now 39.
We make Jell-O shots for every party. Rather than use standard gelatin, we use a gelatin made out of fish bones which works really well. Gin, lemon, elderflower, champagne flavors!
Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.
My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he'd feed us when we visited him!
I'm about middle age and don't believe I have ever made it, even as a child. I have had it, and would consider eating more if it wasn't available in such atrocious colors with false flavorings.
It is currently 85*F in my house and something like jello sounds nice right now as I contemplate what I will cook for dinner haha.
No, we call jam jam. Jelly is made purely of the juice of a fruit or berry, thickened with pectin and with added sugar. If you use the whole fruit smooshed up but with chunks we call it preserves. We also call marmalade marmalade. It's made primarily of the skin of citrus fruit, but you probably know that
How convenient to leave out the third comment, the one you replied to.
The second comment was not just "higlighting a difference in US English versus English elsewhere", it was claiming that US English calls jam jelly, and the third one corrected that claim.
Of course there are other English speaking countries besides the US, but the third comment was absolutely justified in correcting what the second comment claimed. It's not like there was some person from the US who said that all English is like that, making your comment pretty unnecessary.
Tl;dr: you're on the Internet. Before authoritatively and incorrectly correcting someone, consider using it to verify that you're actually correct first.
They responded to "US people say this" with "no, US people actually say this". Then you said "Hey, there are places other than the US".
Maybe before you correct someone you should check the thread you're responding to.
Despite all that effort, he's wrong as well. I'm born and raised in London, UK and we most certainly have differentiations. The description of preserves having elements of the real fruit is the same in the UK: I can go to the local supermarket right now and the shelf will have different sections for jams, preserves, and marmalades (which the person they were replying to were also correct in their description).
The thing I haven't seen is American Jelly, as Jelly here is the same as Jell-O in the US.
When someone correctly says in the context of UK English "the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!" and they respond "no, we call (US English B) (US English B)" and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.
Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.
Person 1: They even call Roy Martha.
Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.
The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn't comprehend the reading.
All that time and the best response you had is "nuh uh!". When I counter an argument and the response is pure cope, like you here, it's a pretty clear admission that you actually can't respond.
I briefly added fruit, ala 1950s, but I prefer without. Occasionally with wHipped cream, but that takes effort since I don't like the garbage that the spray cans create. (whipped cream, sugar and an electric mixer).
1 box makes ~750ml / "one fifth", which is enough for 3 snacks, imo.
The issue is the amount of sugar in them (and the whipped cream). Using sugar-free versions is good.
Using a whipped cream maker, with NO2 canisters for some calorie-free sweetness, is nice.
I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don't get why it's popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It's usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.
After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven't had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?
Yes, most Jell-O contains artificial colors, including red 40, yellow 5, and yellow 6, which are derived from petroleum and may have negative health effects. Some say that these dyes may promote cancer because they contain benzidine, a known carcinogen. Red 40 is also a common ingredient in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs, and cosmetics. Some say that side effects of red 40 include hyperactivity, behavioral changes, allergic reactions, hives, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and migraines.
"Always acceptable" can only be interpreted to mean in any amount, for any reason. That's clearly sadistic and disturbed were it to reflect your true feelings. It's the sort of nonsense a person says to themself when they refuse to allow themself to think rationally about a subject and actually reflect on their true feelings.
The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

I briefly added fruit, ala 1950s, but I prefer without. Occasionally with wHipped cream, but that takes effort since I don't like the garbage that the spray cans create. (whipped cream, sugar and an electric mixer).
1 box makes ~750ml / "one fifth", which is enough for 3 snacks, imo.
The issue is the amount of sugar in them (and the whipped cream). Using sugar-free versions is good.
Using a whipped cream maker, with NO2 canisters for some calorie-free sweetness, is nice.

I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don't get why it's popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It's usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.

Never because it's gross and tastes like shit.

After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven't had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?

Unfortunately, jello requires violence and cruelty towards animals, and this is not acceptable to me.

Downvoters: "Violence and cruelty are acceptable when jello is involved."

Violence and cruelty towards farm animals is always acceptable

"Always acceptable" can only be interpreted to mean in any amount, for any reason. That's clearly sadistic and disturbed were it to reflect your true feelings. It's the sort of nonsense a person says to themself when they refuse to allow themself to think rationally about a subject and actually reflect on their true feelings.
The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

Animals are not morally equivalent to humans in my opinion, and morality is not rational.
You choose to draw the line around a select group of animals, I choose to draw it around humans only. Both are valid worldviews.

I make jello vaginas when I’m feeling lonely.
Adding a bit of fish sauce makes it pretty realistic, I think.

You need a hug.
And probably Jesus.
