Notes
Recipe Tips:
Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients. Fresh raspberries will give a brighter flavor, but frozen raspberries work just as well—just thaw them first. Use fresh baby spinach for a milder taste; older spinach can have a slightly bitter flavor.
Blend Until Completely Smooth. To avoid any leafy bits in your jello, blend the spinach, juice, and fruit thoroughly. If needed, strain the mixture before heating for an ultra-smooth texture.
Dissolve the Gelatin Properly. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the warm mixture and let it sit for 1–2 minutes before stirring to avoid clumping. Stir continuously while heating to ensure it dissolves completely—undissolved gelatin will create lumps.
Bang the Pan on the Counter. After spreading the mixture onto the pan, gently tap it on the counter to remove air bubbles for an even, smooth surface.
Use a Sharp Cookie Cutter. For the cleanest cuts, use a metal cookie cutter and press firmly. A dull cutter or plastic one might tear the jello. Lightly greasing the cutter with a bit of oil can help prevent sticking.
Let It Fully Set. Be patient and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Rushing this step can lead to uneven texture.
Storage Matters. Keep the jello pieces stacked between parchment paper in an airtight container to prevent them from sticking together. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods in the fridge, as jello can absorb odors.
