Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 ml water
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 15 grams unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Clean the strawberries by rinsing them under cold water. Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries with 200ml of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Once the strawberries are softened (about 5-7 minutes), use a blender or immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
Step 4
Strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the seeds and any large pieces. Press gently with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 5
Return the strawberry liquid to the saucepan and add the sugar. Stir and bring back to a gentle simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 50ml of water with the unflavored gelatin. Stir to mix well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 7
Add the bloomed gelatin and lemon juice to the strawberry mixture. Stir continuously over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 9
Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 10
Once set, serve the strawberry jello chilled.
