  3. Great! I love that this recipe achieves almost the same flavor as Jell-O brand gelatin but you can control the amount of sugar/sweetener. You can use Splenda or sugar or a combination of the two depending on your dietary requirements and/or personal tastes. I wanted to try this the first time with a traditional Jell-O flavor so I used cherry flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid. The package actually states that it is 0.13oz so I was unsure if I should use one or two. I haven't bought Kool-Aid in ages and since companies are always changing package sizes, I flipped the packet over and it still makes 2 quarts of Kool-Aid. So I elected to use only one packet of the unsweetened Kool-Aid. This was perfect. This was easy to prepare and tasty. It will be fun experimenting with other flavors. I added some pineapple tidbits and the gelatin firmed up nicely. Thank you for the recipe.
