  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup fruit cocktail juice

Instructions
 

  • Add Jello-O (or preferred brand gelatin mix) into a four cup bowl or dish.

  • Add 1/2 cup cold water, 1/4 cup fruit cocktail juice, and drained fruit cocktail. Stir to combine.

Notes

You can test if it is ready by pressing your finger against it. If the jello sticks to your finger, allow more chill time. Jello is ready once it does not stick to your finger.
