Ever wish strawberries could always be in season? My homemade variety is ripe and ready for picking year-round. These sweet confections are real conversation starters. Plus, they tell my guests how special they are to me! Ingredients:
2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin |
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk |
1 cup finely chopped pecans |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
red and green colored sugar |
slivered almonds |
green liquid food coloring |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat the gelatin powder and milk until smooth. Add pecans, coconut and vanilla; mix just until combined. Shape into strawberries.
2. Roll sides of strawberries in red sugar and dip tops into green sugar. Tint almonds with green food coloring; insert an almond into the top of each strawberry for stem. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 dozen.
