Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds strawberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
Directions
- Hull and quarter 1 pound of the strawberries; combine in a medium bowl with sugar and lemon juice. Set aside, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place 1 cup cold water in a small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand at least 5 minutes to soften.
- Working in batches, puree strawberry mixture in a blender. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup after each batch (discard solids). Add enough water to strained juice to measure a total of 3 cups liquid. Set aside.
- Heat softened gelatin over medium-high, just until it begins to bubble around the edges and gelatin has dissolved (do not boil), 2 to 3 minutes; stir into strawberry juice. Divide mixture among four serving glasses. Chill until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
- To serve, hull and dice remaining 1/2 pound strawberries; spoon on top of chilled gelatins.

Made this for the annual family Memorial Day feast. It was a huge hit! I would definitely make this again!
I wasn't a fan of this recipe at all. It did not gel properly for me although I followed the directions to the t. However, it was my first attempt at a gelatin dessert, so maybe it's harder than I thought it would be.
