1 1/4 cups juice Raspberry flavored lemonade, lemonade or apple juice
1/4 ounce unflavored gelatin We used 1 packet of the Knox brand. Check the packet for quantity.
3/4 cup fruit puree Note: this is for strawberry, for blueberry quantities, see notes below.
1 tbsp honey

In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of the juice then add the gelatin and mix to combine. Allow to bloom and set aside.
Puree fruit in a high speed blender. To make 3/4 cup of puree, you need about double the quantity of fruit. We used almost 2 cups of whole fruit.
For the strawberry flavor, place 3/4 cups of the puree and the remaining 1 cup of juice into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly over medium heat.
Take off the heat and add in the bloomed gelatin and honey.
Whisk to combine until the gelatin is melted.
Pour into a heat proof container and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Cover and place into the fridge to set overnight. Note: your jello may set after a few hours. If you'd like to eat it the same day, check after 2 hours if it has set. If desired, you can cut the jello into small squares for serving.

For blueberry: you can add more fruit if you'd like: add 1/4 cup more of puree and then reduce the juice quantity by 1/4 cup.

For a sweeter jello, use apple juice. For a slightly sour taste, use lemonade.

If you want the jello to still be a little more sweet, you can add more honey to your liking.

To make the jello harder, you can add slightly more gelatin.
