Making Real Strawberry Jello

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Scott with Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to make Strawberry Jello with real strawberries in it. Let's take look at our ingredients; strawberry Jello packet, one cup of cold water, a mixing bowl and some fresh strawberries. To get started we will take our flavor packet and add it to bowl. Now that we have the flavor packet in the bowl, we just take our boiling water now and add that to the mix. Now that the hot water is added to our mixture, we just go ahead and stir it for roughly two minutes or until we see that everything has dissolved inside of it. Now the hot water is added to our mixture, you just go ahead and stir this for roughly two minutes or until we see that everything has dissolved inside of it. You will notice that I am using a metal whisk. Just puts some more air into it and that is good. If you don't happen to have a whisk, just use a fork. Now that it is mixed together really well, we can go ahead and take our cold water now and add that. Now that it is all mixed together, we have to chill it for at least four hours. I choose to put it in these little plastic square containers and put them into a refrigerator. If you are making a lot of different types, these stack really well. So just pick up the liquid that you've made and pour it into the container. Now we are going to want to go ahead and put our Jello mix away in the refrigerator for at least four hours. Okay it looks like our Jello is all done, so we will just take our container now and open it up. You can see that it is all jiggly, oh boy. So what you do now is take a paring knife and you cut little squares into this. Okay now that we have it all cut it, you take a fork and stick it in between, you pick up a little square piece, take a small dish and put it in. Take out your fresh strawberries now and slice off the top. What we are going to do is slice this into four piece. Once down the middle, and then across. Now we have some little pieces that fit nicely into our Jello. Now we have the strawberries inside the container, we can go ahead and add our real pieces of strawberries. That will be a delicious treat for whoever eats this. Now by doing this, we skip the step of actually putting the Jello pieces together with the strawberry inside the refrigerator. You want to do that with your Jello setting, wait two hours and take the Jello out of the frig and put your Jello pieces in there. Then put it back in the frig and it should set with the actual strawberry pieces in there. I prefer to do it this way because then if you want to eat the Jello by itself you can or if you want to eat the strawberries by itself you can also or maybe you will get both of them on the spoon. Delicious either way. For Expert Village, I'm Scott. "
