    Assalamu alaikoum sister,
    I wanted to make this, but when I went to buy Jell-o, I noticed it contained gelatin. I thought gelatin was haram. I wasn't able to check the pineapple one, cause Safeway was out of them, but the orange one did.

    I just thought I should let you know, if I am wrong, please let me know in sha'Allah.

    Salaam,
    Nicole
