    How about using stevia etc for us with diabetes issues?

    You can buy ice tray shape molds from Amazon or dollar stores. Pour all the liquid in those trays and they will come out very nice with different shapes such as star, fruit, flower.

    You could also pour the mixture into a silicone tray or ice cube tray and refrigerate that way.

    Can you use fresh OR frozen berries for this recipe? I love the idea of making homemade fruit snacks. How long do they stay fresh? any suggestions for storage?
