The taste/texture of jello is just collagen (roughly, "meat stew flavor"), fruit juice, and (tons of) sugar. It’s just an extremely heightened version of natural flavors. There is nothing new under the sun.

Consider ripe persimmons, caimito, or abiu. Jelly palm and quince are cooked into literal jelly. Further afield you also have aloe leaf and cooked nopal.
