Nothing beats the taste of made-from-scratch gelatin! It is very easy to change the flavors of the sparkling water, apple juice, fruit spread and/or added fruit to get a completely different taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flavored Sparkling Water of choice*
- 1 can crushed pineapple packed in unsweetened juice, drained—save the juice
- 6 tablespoons unflavored gelatin**
- 3/4 cup Swerve, or sweetener of choice—taste, you may need more
- 4 ¾ Cups Unsweetened Apple Juice
- 3 Tablespoons all fruit spread, pineapple, seedless raspberry, or apricot, etc.***
- 2 Cups Ice cubes
Instructions
- Drain juice from the crushed pineapple.
- Pour carbonated water into a saucepan along with 3 ¾ cups apple juice.
- In a bowl, stir together 1 cup apple juice and all the juice drained from crushed pineapple. Sprinkle gelatin powder over the top and let soften for 5 minutes, then add to the saucepan.
- Add spreadable fruit.
- Turn the heat on to medium-low and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Mix until gelatin is dissolved.
- Turn off heat and add Swerve. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour into a 9 x 13” baking dish, or bigger.
- Stir in 2 cups ice cubes and stir gently until jello thickens to about half way set. After it partially thickens, remove any remaining ice cubes.
- Add the crushed pineapple, stir until completely mixed.
- Refrigerate overnight or until jello is set. Cut into squares and serve.
