Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove their stems and slice them into halves.
In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries with one cup of water and blend until smooth.
In a medium saucepan, pour the strawberry puree and an additional one cup of water. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the top and let it sit for about 2 minutes to soften.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, being careful not to bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the honey and lemon juice until well combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to ensure a smooth texture, discarding the solids.
Pour the strained liquid into a mold or individual serving dishes. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, cover and refrigerate the jello for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low sodium homemade strawberry jello!
