    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pot, add the water and gradually sprinkle jelly powder, stir until dissolved.

Notes

  • Note 1. Gelatin powder can also be used and I would recommend using Knox but you may have to adjust the amount, 1 envelope =2 cups of water, so you will need 3 envelopes.  The procedure is also different. You just dissolve the gelatin in hot water or  and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Whatever you use , follow the package instructions.
