SIDE NOTES:

~  I thought it made sense to post these gelatin recipes after last week’s broth recipe, as all that high quality protein inherent in homemade broth is where powdered gelatin comes from.

Comparing ingredients to Jell-O brand Gelatin:

(It seems all the Jell-O brand flavors have the same ingredients except for the varying artificial colorings & artificial flavorings.)

SUGAR, GELATIN, ADIPIC ACID (FOR TARTNESS), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE AND SODIUM CITRATE (CONTROL ACIDITY), FUMARIC ACID (FOR TARTNESS), TANNIC ACID, RED 40, BLUE 2.
