Notes
Cool it: it is imperative that the jello is thoroughly cooled before starting the freezing process.
Make it fresh: don't wait until the jello is a few days old, or the quality will suffer. Freeze it as soon as you make it.
Plan ahead: Know how you will use it when defrosted as it's texture will change upon thawing and won't be the best for straight eating.
