- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

- If you used a shallow dish, cut the jelly into cubes or desired shapes.
- If you used a mold, gently remove the jellies.
- Serve the strawberry jellies chilled. Enjoy them as a refreshing snack or a delightful dessert.
Tips:
- Fresh strawberries will give the best flavor, but you can also use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not in season.
- For a smoother texture, you can strain the strawberry mixture before adding the gelatin to remove seeds and pulp.
