Another favorite side dish to serve during the Spring is gelatin. Gelatin molds come in fruity flavors, as well as savory flavors. In addition to desserts, gelatin can also be used as a thickener for main dishes. If you are a gelatin fan and are interested in living a Kosher life style you need to read this blog to learn if gelatin is Kosher.
Gelatin is actually an animal product that is created by boiling down tendons, bones and skin. According to Kosher laws, gelatin is Kosher, and remains Kosher even when served with dairy. This is because the product isn’t made from meat, per se. If you are trying to live a vegetarian lifestyle, then you will not want to use gelatin that is made from animal bones, but rather look for a variety that utilizes Agar-agar, which is a product made from seaweed.
One of the easiest ways to create side dishes with gelatin is to buy flavored gelatin mixes. These mixes can be used to create Jello® salads, Jello® molds or even smoothies. If you are looking for a quick dessert or side dish for a brunch, then make a Jello® parfait.
