The Process
Making Easter egg jelly is a simple and fun process. Begin by preparing your gelatin according to the instructions on the package. Next, mix in your chosen fruit juice and food coloring to achieve the desired color and flavor. Then, pour the mixture into your Easter egg molds and refrigerate for several hours, or until the jelly is set. Once the jelly is set, carefully remove it from the molds and voila! You now have a beautiful and delicious Easter egg jelly.
Get Creative
One of the best things about making Easter egg jelly is that you can get as creative as you want with the flavors, colors, and decorations. You can mix and match different fruit juices to create unique and tasty combinations. You can also experiment with different colors and patterns by adding food coloring in different ways, such as creating swirls or layering colors. You can even add edible decorations like sprinkles or edible glitter to make your Easter egg jelly even more festive.
A Fun Activity for the Whole Family
Making Easter egg jelly can be a fun and engaging activity for the whole family. Get your kids involved in choosing flavors and colors, pouring the mixture into the molds, and decorating the jellies.
