Strawberry Gelatin Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Press into a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack., Combine strawberries and sugar in a small bowl; let stand for 20 minutes. In another bowl, dissolve gelatin in water. Drain berries, reserving the juice; add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup. Stir berries and juice mixture into gelatin. Refrigerate until partially set., Meanwhile, combine marshmallows and milk in a saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until blended and smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Fold in whipped topping, then gelatin mixture. Pour into prepared crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.

Steps:

• In a saucepan cook the strawberries and 1 cup sugar over medium-low heat. If you are using fresh strawberries you may need to add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the fruit is softened. Frozen and VERY ripe fruit will cook faster.
• Use a regular or immersion hand blender to puree the fruit. Strain the seeds and return to the pot. Using a chinoise strainer will make the job go much faster.
• In a small bowl, pour the 3 packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of water, making sure no dry powder remains. Let the gelatin sit until it "blooms" and absorbs all the water.
• Heat the strained puree to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is melted and evenly distributed in the puree.
• Choose a mold that fits at least 5 cups. I used a silicone mold, such as the Lekue Imperial Monarch Mold.
• Fill the mold with 3/4 of the puree. Set the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until a skin is formed on the top.
• Pour half the remaining puree into a bowl. Whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and add it to the puree in the bowl.
• Gently fold the cream into the puree.
• Add the cream/puree mixture to the mold, refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until it has set slightly. Add the remaining strawberry puree to the top. Set in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until well set.
• To un-mold the jello: fill a large vessel with hot water.
• Dip the jello into the hot water, being careful not to get water over the lip of the mold. You may need to use a knife to carefully separate the edge of the mold from the jello. Let the mold sit in the water for 15 to 30 seconds. Set the jello on a platter.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Use a thin bladed knife dipped in hot water to cut the jello.

Steps:

• Set aside four whole berries for garnish. Slice remaining strawberries and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. , Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin and sugar until dissolved. Stir in sliced strawberries. Pour into the crust. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm., Cut reserved strawberries in half. Garnish each serving with whipped topping and a berry half.

Steps:

• Hull and quarter 1 pound of the strawberries; combine in a medium bowl with sugar and lemon juice. Set aside, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place 1 cup cold water in a small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand at least 5 minutes to soften.
• Working in batches, puree strawberry mixture in a blender. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup after each batch (discard solids). Add enough water to strained juice to measure a total of 3 cups liquid. Set aside.
• Heat softened gelatin over medium-high, just until it begins to bubble around the edges and gelatin has dissolved (do not boil), 2 to 3 minutes; stir into strawberry juice. Divide mixture among four serving glasses. Chill until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
• To serve, hull and dice remaining 1/2 pound strawberries; spoon on top of chilled gelatins.

Steps:

• Bring sugar, water and cornstarch to a boil over medium high heat.
• Add Jell-O, stir until dissolved.
• Cool and then add strawberries.
• Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until it starts to congeal.
• Put in pie shell and cool completely.
• Top with whipped cream or ice cream to serve.

Steps:

• In a large (heat proof) bowl, add the boxes of strawberry jell-o gelatin.
• Pour in the boiling water, and stir until the jell-o has dissolved.
• Add the partially thawed, sweetened strawberries, and stir for a few minutes. Since I use partially frozened sweetened strawberries in this recipe, I do not add any cold water.
• Using a non-stick cooking spray, spray the inside of one large (6 cup) Tupperware Gelatin Mold (the kind that has an insert in the middle which is removable. Use a plastic sandwich bag to thoroughly coat the gelatin mold.
• Pour jell-o mixture into the Tupperware Gelatin Mold, or add to one large bowl, or a pan. (I've found that after I poured the jell-o mixture in the 6-cup gelatin mold, I have some gelatin leftover. I then pour the remaining jell-o mixture into a custard cup).
• Chill gelatin mold (uncovered) in the refrigerator until it has set up. Then cover the gelatin with the Tupperware lid, until it's ready to serve.
• Note: When making this salad/dessert, I use strawberries that I pick myself, and sweetened myself (with sugar) and had frozen. I never use store bought frozen, sweetened strawberries. (The 30 ounces of partially thawed berries should equal 3 cups total).
• Also, I usually make this salad/dessert one day prior to serving, so it sets up nicely overnight in the fridge. When ready to serve, I loosen the inside and outerside edges of the Tupperware mold with finger dipped in warm water. I then place a plate over the Tupperware mold, and turn it over, so the gelatin mold will release from the Tupperware mold, and onto the plate. Remove the center insert, and either fill it with fresh fruit or thawed Cool Whip, and serve.
