Comment on When was the last time you made Jello?
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 4 months agoHa. Sorry. For beginners using unflavored gelatin I would recommend the Knox brand packets that are sold next to the regular Jello boxes. They are highly refined and don’t have any um… surprising smells… ? The big 2lb jars of unflavored supplement gelatin can be a bit strong when you first add boiling water, but it goes away entirely once it is set in the fridge or dissolved in tea. I could see that putting someone entirely off jello if they were already iffy.
My very favorite is mulberry juice jello, but the only place that sold mulberry juice near me stopped carrying it a couple years back. It’s on amazon, but I can’t bring myself to buy juice on amazon. Tart cherry is a good sub. www.amazon.com/…/B00J49VLMO/

Thanks! I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello but I'll try the Knox brand first. Two pounds sounds like a lot but what do I know? I'm gonna try coconut 😋

Ever had any braised beef dish?

You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?
