- 1 package flavored gelatin mix (the
four serving size)
- 1 cup tap water
- 3 cups yogurt (homemade is fine)
- 1/3 cup sugar (optional)
- up to 1 cup chopped fruit (optional)
Oh is this stuff good! First heat up the
tap water. When it boils, remove it from the
heat. Add the gelatin to it and stir it with
a fork for several minutes, to completely
dissolve the gelatin. The gelatin will only
dissolve if you stir it long enough. When
the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the
yogurt. If you like it very sweet you can
stir in the extra sugar too. I don't like to
add the sugar, but the kids like it pretty
well with the extra sugar. If you like you
can also stir in some chopped fruit. I like
to add leftover canned fruit, cut into small
bits, or sometimes bananas or frozen
strawberries. The fruit should be cut up
small, or it is difficult to chew. When
everything is well stirred up, pour the
yogurt into individual cups or small
resealable containers. Place them n the
fridge to chill. These are great in the
lunch box, and also as a healthy snack. If
you have homemade yogurt which didn't set up
as well as you like, it can be used to good
advantage in this recipe. Red flavors of
gelatin seem to be the most popular at my
house, but I think lemon and peach are also
pretty good. Green is interesting, and
appeals to kids who like to pretend they are
eating slime.
