Homemade organic jello?????

Something I made today. I was thinking about starting a little business because I would love to buy something like this in the store. Call me crazy....like my husband does at least once a day....but it was pretty good.

Recipe:
1 cup cold organic juice (I chose blueberry/ cranberry) and pour in a bowl. Then sprinkle 4 packets of unflavored gelatin and let sit for 1 minute. Heat up another 3 cups of juice and pour over the cold juice. Now this part is optional- add 2 Tbls of honey or organic sugar. Mix whole mixture for 5 minutes with a metal spoon and then let sit in refrigerator for 2 hours.

This time I added organic cane sugar bc the organic juice is pretty tart. I was expecting the worst ... and so was John... which is often the case with a new healthy recipe. But we were pleasantly surprised. It was very good and a nice healthy treat for the hot Florida weather. Plus an added health tip.... gelatin is very good for digestion. I have seen recipes add it just for that reason. Add unflavored gelatin to aid in digestion for any meal. Maybe we will be eating a little healthy jello as an appetizer around here. Enjoy!

That sounds good! Is it still organic if you add cool whip? just a thought. Grant is getting so big and cute! The pictures at the beach were really cute!
