Sorry to barge in. It's not "cooking". You have to boil some water.
Then stir the Jell-O powder into it. Then pour it into a bowl or a mold
and add cold water (ice cubes if you want a quick set) then put it in
the refrigerator. If you want to add fruit, you do it before you put it
in the fridge.

I have never added fruit to Jell-O but I've certainly heard about it
here over the years. Also from having some very old "dessert" cookbooks
which often mention the use of fruit in Jell-O.

I'd rather just eat fruit than suspend it in a gelatin concoction.
