Start by boiling 2 cups of water.

Remove the boiling water from heat and add the package of flavored gelatin. Stir until it is completely dissolved, which usually takes about 2 minutes.

Pour in 1 cup of cold water and mix well.

If you want to include fruit, fold in your diced fruit now.

Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours.

Once set, remove the dish from the fridge and cut the gelatin into squares or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.

Serve your gelatin squares on a platter.
