FAQ
Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?
A: Yes! Just thaw them first and follow the same steps. They may be slightly softer but still taste great.
Q: My jelly didn’t set—what went wrong?
A: This often happens if the gelatin didn’t fully bloom or dissolve. Make sure your gelatin is fresh and the mixture is warm enough to dissolve it completely.
Q: Can I make this less sweet?
A: Absolutely. Feel free to reduce the sugar or substitute with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative.
Q: Is this the same as jam or preserves?
A: Nope! Jelly is clear and smooth with no fruit chunks, whereas jam and preserves contain pieces of the fruit.
