Notes
Make sure you are using the large 6-ounce size of regular Jello -- not sugar free, which comes in different sizes.
Use frozen berries without sauce or sugar in this recipe, or save money, and make your own frozen strawberries by slicing fresh strawberries, transferring to a large zip-top freezer bag and placing in freezer until frozen!
There is no cooking involved in this recipe, but there are refrigeration times, so it takes about 3 to 4 hours for it to be ready to eat.
Fresh strawberries can be used, but keep them refrigerated until ready to use
