Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, and mint leaves.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, cooking for about 5 minutes, until the strawberries are soft. Stir occasionally.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible from the solids. Discard the solids and keep the strawberry liquid.

Step 5

Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm strawberry liquid and let it sit for 1 minute to bloom.

Step 6

Gently heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 7

Remove from heat again and add honey and lemon juice, stirring until completely incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the jello mixture into your preferred serving dishes or molds.

Step 9

Refrigerate the jello for at least 2 hours until set.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade, heart-healthy treat!
