Notes

  1. The green food coloring is added in to get the green color because green apple juice is more cloudy in color than green. However, if you don't like using food coloring you can omit this step. Some brands of green food coloring I've used up to ¼ teaspoon of color before it gets to the right shade, other brands are stronger and I've only needed a couple of drops, so go slow if you're adding it in.
  2. Each batch (green or red) makes around 2 cups of jello.
