Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Healthy Homemade Jello

Total prep time
2 hours 5 mins

A recipe for making healthy jello without added sugar or artificial ingredients.
Author: Wellness Mama
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients
    1½ cups of organic or freshly juiced fruit juice of choice (grape, pineapple, orange or a mix of orange and pineapple are all good!)
    ¼ cup cool water
    ¼ cup hot (almost boiling) water
    1 tablespoon of Kosher Gelatin Powder
    1-2 cups of fresh fruit (optional) – Pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and orange slices are all really good...don't use fresh pineapple juice because the jello will not gel properly...don't ask me why...maybe the high acid? 
    Note: Can double recipe.


Instructions
Pour the cool water in a large mixing cup or quart sized mason jar and add the gelatin powder.

Stir briskly until mixed- it will start to thicken a lot.

Add the ¼ cup of really hot water and stir to mix- it should be thinner now.
Combine this with the juice and mix well.

Put the fruit into the container that you are going to make the jello in. 8×8 baking dishes work well.

Pour the jello mixture over the fruit and stir lightly to make sure it has coated the fruit too.

Put in the fridge, covered, for at least 2-3 hours or overnight and serve.
Can cut into cubes or scoop out with a melon spoon to make cute shapes.

Enjoy.
