I need a seriously easy way to make jelly or fruit spread. My boys eat Strawberry or Cherry etc. I heard that there is a way to make jelly from popular real fruit juices. Any takers for this help?

here is one I got from one of my friends who makes it with her girls - - they love being able to "make it themselves". Since they're young, she needs to help - but they think they did it all.....

SO easy.....

6 cups of mashed fruit (whatever fruit you choose)
3 cups of sugar
1 large pkg of flavored jello (whatever fruit you use or something different)

Boil the sugar and mashed fruit for about 4 minutes - Add the jello and stir well. Place in jars - keeps in fridge or freezer for 6 months.

If you don't want the "skin" of the fruit in the jelly/jam - put through a mesh strainer and then bring back to a boil before adding the jello.....

It's not fruit juice - - but the recipe is EASY and her kids love it!!
