Hi everyone

Just thought Id post this recipe I have used for Friut jelly squares. My
little one loves them

Gets something good into them with no E numbers in sight. Does anyone have
more

FRUIT JELLY SQUARES

1/8 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce (or add thin dices of banana, peach, pear,
grapes, blueberry etc)
2 cups apple juice
3 small packages unflavored gelatin

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon into applesauce and set aside.

Pour 1 cup cold apple juice in 8x8 pan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Heat
remaining 1 cup of apple juice in the microwave for 3 minutes or until
boiling.

Stir boiling juice into the gelatin and cold apple juice. Stir in
applesauce. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour and then stir to keep applesauce evenly
distributed. If you do not stir when in the fridge, the applesauce settles
to the bottom, but it still tastes great! Refrigerate for an additional 2
1/2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares with a knife, or use cookie
cutters to cut into shapes, and serve.
