Since just about every flavor of Jello had Red 40* and friends in it I've been using Knox gelatin and dye free fruit juice to make my own. 2 packets of Knox equal the same amount of a box of Jello, follow the directions to heat half the juice. I don't add any extra sugar.

You can also use any soda pop, heat 1/2 a cup to dissolve the powder, add 1 1/2 of cold. Anyone else remember white grape/champagne jello? Did it ever work as intended?
You can also make coffee flavor.
*Personal experience has shown that Red 40 and my entire being do not get along and the less I have the better. If you are unsure take a week's vacation from food and drink with Red 40 and see how you feel.
