<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Monica, Have you tried Knox unflavored gelatine in place of Jello? I called Knox, 1-800-622-4726, one time and was told the gelatine is made from beef and pork bones. I use various fruit juices and add fruit for salads and desserts. It is better than Jello in that you can control the sweetness and there are no colorings added. I don't add sugar, the sweetnees of the fruit is enough. Pat Krimmel Phila. PA
