I’m 52. And in my entire adult life I’ve never made Jello. How about you?

    I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It’s so pretty. It takes all day. It’s one of my favorite things about Easter.

    I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.

      If that counts, then I made some just a couple days ago as a by-product of my carnitas.

        I make it at least once every two months when I make chicken soup (I use Adam Ragusea’s whole chicken recipe, the soup is like 90% gelatin)
