This recipe may remind you of the jewel-colored jellies that were served with pheasant, vegetables and potatoes at the Capitol. It was a typically showy spread that was meant to impress the guests, especially the tributes.
These are extremely easy to make and kids love preparing this recipe, so it’s a great project to do with your children. Kids also love eating these and they look great on a buffet table, so keep them in mind for your next Hunger Games party.
