Kool-Aid Jelly (Many Flavors) (For Jelly Queen)
A quick jelly recipe with many flavors, how about Watermelon Kiwi or Arctic Green Apple, Black Cherry, yum, to name a few. You can also make an ice cream topping or syrup. Some Kool Aid flavors will not gel as quickly as others, I don't know why, this is a recent discovery. Use recipe Liquid Cement #151544 to get it to gel if it is still syrupy. I personally think there is some new ingredient in some of the flavors.I use dry pectin and unflavored gelatin. I have never had a problem but I live in a dry cold climate, maybe that effects the gelling.
12 8 oz. jars
Ingredients
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, any flavor
- 6 cups cold water
- 2 (6 ounce) bottles liquid pectin or 2 (2 ounce) packages dry pectin
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages unflavored gelatin
- 6 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon margarine (optional)
Directions
1
In large stockpot add Kool Aid and cold water.2
Stir in pectin and unflavored gelatin.3
Let set five minutes until softened. Then stir and bring to a boil.4
Add sugar and margarine. Bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.5
Take off the burner, skim.6
Note:The margarine cuts down the foam.7
Pour into sterile hot jars.8
Wipe rims and adjust the seal and bands tightly.9
Process in a hot water bath in your canner for five minutes. Make sure the water covers the lids.10
Remove the jars, turn upside down on a rack or cotton towels on the counter.11
Do not move the jars until cool.12
This makes 12 8 ounce jars of jelly.13
I add the Knox unflavored gelatin because my husband likes a firm jelly.14
I am sure you will be "hooked" with the flavors you can make and the cost is about 45 cents per jar.15
Some flavors take longer to gel than others.16
but there is a recipe that works to set or gell the jelly in the description of recipe.

Last year I made 6 different flavors and mixed & matched them as Christmas gifts for my staff at work. It was a HUGE success. I do suggesst that you shop all year long for the most unique flavors of Kool-aid

This jelly set up beautifully. The addition of the margarine to cut the foam is very helpful and the gelatin ensures a great set up. This would be a great recipe for a beginner just learning how to make jelly! I made it with the Kiwi Watermelon for my 5 year old son. We call it "Kyle's jelly". He's a big PB & J fan. I'll be trying different flavors in the future and I might even make some as gifts. I made it in pint jars. I even posted a photo. This was a great project for a bitterly cold day!

My young nieces & I made Tropical Punch Kool Aid Jelly last night to put into Christmas Baskets, but it didn't gel. We did enough "quality control tastings" to know the flavor is good and the batch is worth saving, so they are coming back over tonight and we will be using the Liquid Cement recipe (#151544) to repair the jelly.

This tastes really good, but I had trouble getting it to gel. The first time I canned it, it didn't set up, so I used one of the recipes on this site to fix it. It worked great!
