Hi,

I used the " juice blocks " recipe on the back of the Knox box. It set

up and was too hard to eat. I didn't use honey either. I think I got

one bowl out of it. Does anyone have step by step instructions or an

easy jello recipe? I only tried once though with the juice blocks.

Thanks,

Knox gelatin responds differently than the boxes of Jell-O that you're

probably used to. It's important to soften the gelatin in a cup of

water for about 5 minutes - I use 4 packages to make blocks. (Stir to

make sure all the powder gets wet). Meanwhile I heat 2 cups of juice,

and one cup of water plus a little honey (depending on the juice). DO

NOT BOIL. (The liquid just has to be hot enough to melt the gelatin

gob that has formed in the 1 cup of water.) Remove the juice from the

heat. Slowly add the softened gelatin, stirring well to make sure all

is dissolved. Pour into a greased 13x9 pan. Cover and put into the

fridge for several hours. This can be cut into squares or with cookie

cutters. It is " finger " food. If you want a more normal consistency of

gelatin, use only 2 packages.

I haven't tried orange juice, but I make this once or twice a week

with lots of other juices.

I had a really informative chat with Customer Support at Kraft Foods

regarding Knox Gelatin.

You should be successful with the Tropicana Orange Juice juice if you

use the proper method in the general directions.

Here is what you CANNOT gel using Knox. Some of it is illegal in any

case but the info is useful. The indicated items share an enzyme that

interferes with the gelling process.

You cannot set mangos, kiwi fruit, papaya, figs or frozen pineapple

juice or the juices of any of those with Knox.

You CAN set Dole canned pineapple juice.

I hope this helps.
