Begin by sprinkling the gelatin powder over half a cup of cold water in a mixing bowl.

In a small saucepan, heat the remaining half cup of water and the fruit juice over medium heat.

Once the juice mixture is warm, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Add your chosen sweetener to the mixture and stir well.

If desired, add food coloring for a pop of vibrancy.

Carefully pour the jello mixture into your prepared baking dish or molds.

Place the jello in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until it’s fully set.

Once set, cut into squares or unmold the individual servings.
