Okay so I searched 'Jelly' in the database and I could only find "fruit in jelly cup" ect ect

Has anyone got any idea how many calories are in just plain Jelly? (As in made from jelly crystals and boiling water)

    All I know is apparently Americans call Jelly something else.

    What I call jelly you buy as crystals and you add boiling water to it, mix and set in the fridge.

    If it's just gelatin with no sugar, consider it free. Something like 25 Calories in 4 cups of Knox gelatin made per directions. If it has sweetener, you're on your own - but it should be relatively easy to figure out from the packaging or by using the recipe function here.

    23 calories in unsweetened gelatin which is what I think ur talking about. Thats for 1 tablespoon of the dry crystals.
