I have heard that if you use only half the water leave it cool and then beat it well, that this may work. I haven't tried it but with all the flavours of jelly I thought it may be a quick and easy way for the kids to help make them then they can move onto the basic way of making them. Thanks Gayle Doxey Australia <blockquote>I remember eating popsicles made this way Gayle. It was a long time ago- but I believe this strategy would work. Only let it cool to room temperature, don't refrigerate it until you've beaten it. Also- considering beating it with your bowl nestled in an ice bath. cheers McAuliflower</blockquote> Hi, I just want to know if marshmallows can be made using jelly crystals.
