Tips

• For a change, add fruit cocktail or sliced banana to the bottom of the dessert glasses and pour the hot jello over it.
• Buy a jello mold shaped as you prefer, and pour the hot jello mixture, with fruit added into the mold. Allow to set overnight. Great for parties or dinner deserts.
• Serve topped with whipped cream.
• Jello comes in many different flavors, mix them for a entirely different change of taste.
• Follow the directions on the box for further directions and tips.
• Jello is great for soothing a sore throat, or when on a liquid diet.
• Feed it to babies in a more liquid form by not allowing it to jell completely. Stir it and when slightly set, place in a bowl and give it to the baby.
