DIRECTIONS TO MAKE drip-free jello popsicle RECIPE

Step 1

First, we are going to make Jello! There are several different sizes of Jello boxes, so grab the amounts for water from the box.

Boil a cup of water (or whatever amount suggested by the Jello instructions)
Pour the gelatin mix into a medium size bowl.
Add the boiling water to the bowl and stir with a spoon for 2 minutes until all the gelatin is dissolved.
Instead of adding cold water at this point, go on to the next step where you can add fruit juice and fruit instead…

Step 2

Once the gelatin has dissolved, add the desired mashed fruit and stir to combine.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of orange juice (or your favorite fruit juice) instead of cold water to the mixture and stir.

Step 4

Fill in the popsicle cups and freeze for a few hours until frozen.
