Recipe for the Day: Homemade Fruit Snacks

100% Juice Fruit Snacks Recipe
1/3 c. 100% frozen fruit juice concentrate
2-3 .25 oz envelopes unflavored gelatin (use 2 for softer fruit snacks, and 3 for firmer ones)
molds

Pour the juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice and let it sit for a few minutes. Put the pan over medium heat and stir until all the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into a measuring cup with a spout so you can easily fill your molds. Fill the molds and allow to set at least 20 minutes. You can speed up the process a bit by putting them in the refrigerator.

Jell-o Fruit Snacks Recipe
1 3 oz package gelatin, any flavor
2 .25 oz envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/3 c. water

Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small saucepan.  Heat over medium heat and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.  Pour into molds and allow to set at least 20 minutes. These are a little bit sticky.

I found the molds at Dollar Tree right now they have pumpkin, skulls, fingers, and flowers.
