Homemade Strawberry Jello Recipes

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• 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.

STRAWBERRY JELLIES

Steps:

• Ask a grown-up to put 6 tsp boiling water into a jug. Sprinkle on the gelatine, then whisk carefully until it dissolves.
• Pour in the juice and whisk, making sure it's all mixed in.
• Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. Use a knife to cut them into slices or small chunks.
• Put some pieces of strawberry into 6 glasses leaving a few to decorate at the end. They should be full but with plenty of room around them.
• Pour the juice into 6 glasses, filling them almost to the top. Put them on a plate or tray in the fridge to set. They will take about 4 hours to set.
• When the jellies are set, decorate with whipped cream and extra strawberries.

BRITISH STRAWBERRY JELLY (JELL-O)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the sugar and 2 cups of water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil vigorously for 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool off.
• Set aside 4 or 5 of the fresh whole strawberries and hull the remaining fruit by removing the entire stems of the berries.
• Purée the hulled strawberries with an immersion blender, high-speed blender, or food processor until you've achieved a smooth texture.
• Transfer the purée to a large bowl and pour over the cooled sugar-water syrup.
• Cover with a clean cloth and let infuse for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, if you have the time.
• Once infused, pass the strawberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove any of the strawberry pulp or seeds. Set aside.
• Make sure the remaining water is cold and pour it into a small dish. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Measure 1 cup of the strained strawberry-sugar syrup mixture and heat it up in a small saucepan.
• Stir in the gelatin-water mixture and simmer very gently, avoiding a boil, until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
• Stir this mixture into the remaining strawberry-sugar syrup.
• Transfer the strawberry mixture to a 3-cup/900-ml gelatin mold or into individual smaller molds if you'd like.
• Place the mold in the refrigerator and let set. This will take a couple of hours but it is best to leave it overnight. The jelly is ready when it wobbles slightly-the fun part of the dessert.
• To unmold, carefully dip the mold in warm water for 15 to 20 seconds and remove. With wet fingertips gently pull the jelly from the sides of the mold. Place a plate on top of the mold and turn the plate and mold upside down so the jelly falls on the center of the plate. Decorate with the strawberries you saved and enjoy!

SURE.JELL STRAWBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Place three layers of damp cheesecloth or a jelly bag in large bowl. Pour prepared fruit into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closed; hang and let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently. Measure exactly 3-3/4 cups prepared juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir pectin into juice in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

STRAWBERRY GELATINS

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.
