KOOL-AID JELLY (MANY FLAVORS) (FOR JELLY QUEEN)

Kool-Aid Jelly (Many Flavors) (For Jelly Queen) image

A quick jelly recipe with many flavors, how about Watermelon Kiwi or Arctic Green Apple, Black Cherry, yum, to name a few. You can also make an ice cream topping or syrup. Some Kool Aid flavors will not gel as quickly as others, I don't know why, this is a recent discovery. Use recipe Liquid Cement #151544 to get it to gel if it is still syrupy. I personally think there is some new ingredient in some of the flavors.I use dry pectin and unflavored gelatin. I have never had a problem but I live in a dry cold climate, maybe that effects the gelling.

Remove the jars, turn upside down on a rack or cotton towels on the counter.

I add the Knox unflavored gelatin because my husband likes a firm jelly.
I am sure you will be "hooked" with the flavors you can make and the cost is about 45 cents per jar.
Some flavors take longer to gel than others.
but there is a recipe that works to set or gell the jelly in the description of recipe.
