Making Orange Jello

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Scott for Expert Village and today I am going to teach you how to make Orange Jello. Let's take a look at our ingredients. An orange flavor packet, one cup of cold water, a mixing bowl, and two and half cups of boiling water. To get started, we'll just take our flavor packet and add it to the bowl. Now that we have the flavor packet in the bowl, we just take our boiling water now and add that to the mix. Now that the hot water is added to our mixture, we just go ahead and stir this for roughly two minutes or until we see everything has dissolved inside of it. You'll notice that I am using a metal whisk. This puts some more air into it and that's good. If you don't happen to have a whisk you can use a fork. Now that it's mixed together really well we can go ahead and take our cold water now and add that. Okay, now that it is all mixed together we can go ahead and pour this out into a container. I like to use these square containers because they stack really well inside your fridge if you’re making a lot of stuff. So we go ahead and pour that into a container. Now we are going to want to put this into the refrigerator for about four hours till it sets completely. Okay, it's been about four hours now, so we'll go right ahead and grab our Jello. Now what we have to do with it, now that it is nice and firm is grab a knife and be sure to cut little grooves in this. About little square blocks. That will be fantastic. You do it both ways. It's nice. Next thing you have to do is grab a fork, grab a cup that you want to put it in. You take your fork and put it in the side, pop those little puppies out. You just push them right into your cup. As easy as Jello is to make, sometimes you mess up, just like I did here. I think I added just a little bit too much hot water to this orange mix and it came out a little bit yellow. Perhaps it thinned out, but it still tastes like orange and that's what counts. For Expert Village, mmm, "orange you just great", I'm Scott."
