Servings 15 squares
Calories 32kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (previously frozen will also work as long as the strawberries are partially thawed)
- ¾ cup room temperature water
- 5 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4½ tsp grass-fed gelatin
- a few drops of natural red food coloring (optional - I like this brand)
Instructions
- Place the strawberries, water, honey, and lemon juice in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup of the puree and place it in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the bowl and mix it with the puree until well-combined.
- While the gelatin is blooming, place the remaining puree in a small pot and heat over medium high heat. When the puree is hot but not yet boiling, remove it from heat.
- Immediately add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the jello mixture between 3-4 small glass jars. I use either 4 ounce mason jars or 7 ounce tulip jars.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the strawberry jello has set.
