I’m 52. And in my entire adult life I’ve never made Jello. How about you?
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.
Wow your second paragraph may have just solved my jello resistance, thanks! You almost lost me at fish and beef tho 😅
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 😋

If that counts, then I made some just a couple days ago as a by-product of my carnitas.
we make jello shots for the adults during trick or treat for halloween every year… hundreds of little cups. if that counts
Wow, do parents take shots at your door? This is not the Halloween I remember, but good on you.
Yes, but there’s also vodka involved haha do you live in mostly single-family suburbs?
I was cleaning out my pantry last week and found 3 boxes of jello mix that were like 4 years old and I threw them out.
When I went grocery shopping, I was like “oh, yeah, I’m out of jello” and bought 3 more 🤦🏼♂️
Jello as dessert? When I was 15 for a school project. Jello as a shot? Probably annually
My last colonoscopy so like 2 years old.
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.
