Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters so they blend more easily.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the strawberries with one cup of water and blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother jello, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, add the remaining cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Allow the gelatin to bloom for about 5 minutes until it becomes a thick gel.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the gelatin completely dissolves. Do not let the mixture boil.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a glass dish or individual serving cups. Let it cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Once set, slice or scoop into serving portions and enjoy.
