Homemade Strawberry Banana Jello (or whatever fruit you want)

5/12/2015

One quart fresh whole strawberries
1 or 2 ripe bananas
1 Tbs. raw honey (or to taste)
1/4 c. water
2 Tbs. grass-fed powdered gelatin (I use Great Lakes)
  • Cut the tops off of the strawberries and place them in a bowl.  Add the peeled bananas.
  • Mash the strawberries and bananas with your hands, just squeeze them tightly.  I like the jello kinda chunky.  (If you want it really smooth you could put the strawberries in a blender, or even juice them, but then you don't get the fiber, and you miss the whole food-ness of it.) Keep mashing until a good bit of juice has come out and the pieces are pretty small.
  • Mix in a tablespoon or so of honey, depending on how sweet the strawberries are and how sweet you like it.  I try to add as little sweetener as possible so that the strawberry flavor is not over-powered.
  • In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the 1/2c. water.  Allow to sit for a couple of minutes until all of the powder is wet.  Stir while heating gently until all of the gelatin is melted.
  • Mix the gelatin water into the strawberries. 
  • Put the bowl in the fridge for a couple of hours, or the freezer for half an hour or so, until well-gelled.
Enjoy!
