FAQ:
Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh ones! Just be sure to thaw them first and drain off any excess water before using them in the recipe.
What if I don’t have pectin? You can substitute pectin with gelatin. However, the texture may vary slightly, and you’ll need to follow the gelatin packet instructions for the best results.
Can I make this in advance? Absolutely! Strawberry jelly can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It’s even better after a day or two as the flavors meld.
Enjoy this fresh and tasty strawberry jelly as the perfect spring dessert!
