If you only want to make the Jell-O, here is a link to the recipe: https://www.onelovelylife.com/healthy-homemade-jello/#tasty-recipes-24663-jump-target Jell-O recipe: 4 cups of juice (See notes) 2 Tablespoons unflavored beef gelatin* (such as Vital Proteins or Great Lakes. Do NOT try with collagen or protein powder.) 2 Tablespoons honey, agave, or cane sugar (optional) Instructions Bloom The Gelatin. Pour 1/2 cup of the juice into a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin powder over the juice and stir to combine. Set aside for about 5 minutes while you heat the juice. The gelatin will thicken up significantly during this time and should be very thick and grainy-looking. Heat The Remaining Juice. While the gelatin blooms, add the remaining 3 1/2 cups of juice to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until steaming. (It doesn’t need to come to a boil or simmer, but should be VERY hot.) Melt The Bloomed Gelatin. Add honey/sweetener (if using) and the bloomed gelatin to the hot juice and stir to dissolve completely. This is a crucial step, so make sure it’s completely dissolved! Pour gelatin mixture over rhubarb while the Jell-O is still hot. 🌿 Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever tried freeze-drying fruit—or if you're going to try this version! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more homemaking inspiration, recipes, and preserving tips!
