So you can substitute another sweetener for the stevia, but you will need to use a lot. Stevia: 1/32 teaspoon is about as sweet as 1-2 tablespoons sugar.Of course you could dilute for a lighter flavor. I haven't tried these yet, but I think using above liquids instead of the amounts of the juice plus water should work.

Have you ever drunk that stuff straight? :-(. They are filled w/ nasty preservatives and don't taste like the real thing.īecause they aren't. Please don't use those icky "Not ReaLemon" bottles that are sold everywhere. I bought a HUGE amount (remember - gelatin doesn't spoil :-)!) Lemon Juice It is made from pastured cows in Argentina that have not been treated with antibiotics or hormones. Perfect Supplements - also pastured, grass-fed bovine from Brazil. Vital Proteins - these seem to be good people too. Pasture and grass-fed sources from Argentina and Brazil. Great Lakes Gelatin - this is the first grass-fed gelatin that I ever used. Here are some good choices for quality grass-fed beef gelatin: It's REALLY important to use quality gelatin with all of the factory farming that is going on. I am no longer using regular store brand gelatin. Most obviously, you have total control over the ingredients and you can leave out those not so savory things like artificial colors and flavors - yikes! Ingredient Information Gelatin It's a fabulous source of additional or complementary protein. The gelatin is soothing to the stomach - and it's a great healthy option for times when you are recovering from a tummy bug. Of course, you save money over the store-bought brand.

So I bought it and had the rest of the packets sitting in my pantry for a long time.ĭon't ask how long. I'm sure it was probably an ingredient in a recipe that I wanted to try. Well, a number of years ago, I bought brand name and generic brand gelatin for some reason or another. So none of those itsy bitsy containers of sugar and artificial dye-laden boxes that cost about $1.10 or so for 1 batch of not-so-good-for-you stuff.

Why would someone pay over $5 per pound for a little box made up of mostly sugar, a teensy bit of gelatin, artificial color and flavor? "Jello" is one of those things that has always perplexed me. So when I found a way to make homemade "JELLO" - I was thrilled! Some of our favorites are vegetable broth powder, homemade ketchup, homemade gummy snacks, taco seasoning, natural blue food coloring, homemade chocolate chips and homemade white chocolate chips.
