    Yes. Since there are no preservatives in them, it is best to keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    You can use frozen & thawed fruit or fresh!

    You can make it with other fruits but you’ll want to stay away from things like fresh pineapple, mango, kiwi, citrus, etc. because the gelatin won’t set.

    3 tsp of sugar in a 1/4 cup serving is too high for a kid snack with no real food value.
