Is there a good homemade ‘Jell-o’ recipe that doesn’t require gelatin?

I’m using Jell-o as a diet food and have been buying it and eating it as entire meals. I know it’s not healthy, so I wondered if there were any recipes using fresh fruit or juice or possibly even jam or jelly from the store, like a jar of strawberry preserves. I do not want to use that Knox gelatin stuff though – I’ve heard of methods where you boil fruit juice but don’t know where to go from there. Any help?
I also remember something about corn starch and fruit juice. Any ideas there?

why wont you get food poisoning from eating fresh fruit with endospores of clostridium botulinum?

and why might you get food poisoning if you ate home-preserved fruit that spoiled?
