making sugar-free jello w. splenda question

OK - so I can't find sugar-free flavored gelatin that uses splenda, so I figure I can make my own pretty easily.  I got unflavored gelatin and was going to use unsweetened Kool-Aid and splenda.  Anyone know the proportions of the kool-aid and splenda to the jello???  And does Diabetisweet work better for this?

Thanks!

I think splenda will work just fine - I would probably mix the 1/2 gallon or whatever it is of Kool aid that 1 packet makes and just use the amount you need to make the jello.

I also use 100% fruit juice and unflavored gelatin to make jello (my own cranberry sauce too!)

OH... so you're mixing the kool aid with water first???  Haha.  Makes sense to use that instead of water to make the jello... I was over-thinking the problem.   I was thinking basically of mixing the powders then making it like you'd make flavored jello.

Hadn't thought of using fruit juice, tho... do you replace all of the water with the juice (and boil the juice?) or just half?  And are there any that you can't use? (like apple because of the pectin?)

THANKS!  Had meant to ask that today!

Exactly - I just boil however much juice it calls for then use cold juice for the rest - or you can cut it some with water if it is a really strong juice. Nope nothing you can't use. The pectin gets "killed" when the apples are processed. Pectin is strongest in under ripe fruits. I've used apple, cranberry, grape, peach grape. Love 'em all!!

oh very cool... and what  a totally DUH moment for me.  My brain is tired.  Time to go to bed, enjoy the nice storm that is rolling in, and get some sleepies!

Thanks again for a wonderful day and great food!

when i made mine I followed the recipe on the Knox box for their jello and knox blocks...
