Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice them into quarters.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries with 1 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until strawberries are soft.
Step 3
Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the softened strawberries into a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds and pulp, ensuring a smooth jello texture.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the remaining 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 6
After blooming, heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until completely dissolved. Do not allow it to boil.
Step 7
Combine the dissolved gelatin, honey, and lemon juice with the strained strawberry puree. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into individual jello molds or serving cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jello is fully set.
Step 9
Serve the jello chilled, garnished with fresh strawberry slices or mint leaves for an added touch.
