Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters so they blend more easily.
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.
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.
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.
Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour the mixture into a glass dish or individual serving cups. Let it cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Once set, slice or scoop into serving portions and enjoy.
