Instructions

Soften gelatin by soaking in 1 1/2 cups of the cold water (or juice) for a few minutes.
Add boiling water (or juice) and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
Add remaining ingredients (including the other 1 1/2 cups cold water), stirring until thoroughly blended.
Pour into 2 8x8 baking pans.
Refrigerate until set.
Store covered in fridge.

Notes

Molds: Instead of the baking pans, you could of course use anything as a mold. Like the little heart molds I bought for my Healthy "Reese's" Candy (with allergy options).
Gelatin: For Gelatin Squares, use twice as much gelatin to make a firmer result.
THM: This is a "fuel pull" for those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
Color: The resulting color of this Homemade Jello will not be as intense as that of store-bought gelatin mixes. You can use natural food coloring or even add food stuffs such as spirulina to add intensity to your final product, as desired. Making this recipe without added coloring using lemon or lime juice will result in a faintly colored gelatin dessert.
