This dessert takes very little time to prepare but is best made in advance to allow the jello to set or even the day before if serving as a frozen dessert.
This is a very old recipe and I'm told that in many places the frozen tubs of strawberries in syrup are no longer available. Not to worry. Here's how to make a substitute
About 1 pound fresh strawberries
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
Simply clean and hull fresh strawberries and dice them small. Add them to a small saucepan with the water and sugar and bring to the boil for only a minute. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature or cooler.This should produce about 2 cups of strawberries in syrup as needed in the recipe.
