Preparation Instructions
Step 1.
Gather all the ingredients. Make sure you get some strawberries, lemon juice, and water before you start.

Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces to make it easier for your blender to break down the fruit and extract the juice.

Tips:
- You can add other fruit to this recipe for a delicious variation.
- You can add other ingredients to this recipe, such as mint leaves, passion fruit, cinnamon sticks, or other spices.
- If you plan to store these shots in the freezer, try to use glass jars, so they are longer than plastic jars, which tend to break down over time and lose their sealing abilities once they have opened.
- Don’t forget to seal the lids of your jars before refrigerating. If you don’t cover your jars, they may leak and create a mess in your refrigerator or freezer.
- If you want glass shot glasses instead of jars, you can buy them at any party or dollar store.
- You may need to adjust the water/fruit ratio depending on how thick or thin you want to make your jello shots.
