Notes

Allow each layer to set. Patience is key. Fully set layers prevent colors from mixing.
Clear cups create a beautiful presentation perfect for themed parties.
This jello tastes the best when chilled overnight, making it ideal for holidays.
You can add sliced strawberries and blueberries for freshness.
You can even decorate the top with whipped cream and berries arranged in an American flag pattern.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze, as gelatin will change its texture.
