Strawberry Jello Yokan Recipes

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the strawberries, water, honey, and lemon juice in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Scoop out 1/4 cup of the puree and place it in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the bowl and mix it with the puree until well-combined.
• While the gelatin is blooming, place the remaining puree in a small pot and heat over medium high heat. When the puree is hot but not yet boiling, remove it from heat.
• Immediately add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Divide the jello mixture between 3-4 small glass jars. I use either 4 ounce mason jars or 7 ounce tulip jars.
• Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the strawberry jello has set.

FRESH HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JELLO

Steps:

• In a saucepan cook the strawberries and 1 cup sugar over medium-low heat. If you are using fresh strawberries you may need to add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the fruit is softened. Frozen and VERY ripe fruit will cook faster.
• Use a regular or immersion hand blender to puree the fruit. Strain the seeds and return to the pot. Using a chinoise strainer will make the job go much faster.
• In a small bowl, pour the 3 packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of water, making sure no dry powder remains. Let the gelatin sit until it "blooms" and absorbs all the water.
• Heat the strained puree to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is melted and evenly distributed in the puree.
• Choose a mold that fits at least 5 cups. I used a silicone mold, such as the Lekue Imperial Monarch Mold.
• Fill the mold with 3/4 of the puree. Set the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until a skin is formed on the top.
• Pour half the remaining puree into a bowl. Whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and add it to the puree in the bowl.
• Gently fold the cream into the puree.
• Add the cream/puree mixture to the mold, refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until it has set slightly. Add the remaining strawberry puree to the top. Set in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until well set.
• To un-mold the jello: fill a large vessel with hot water.
• Dip the jello into the hot water, being careful not to get water over the lip of the mold. You may need to use a knife to carefully separate the edge of the mold from the jello. Let the mold sit in the water for 15 to 30 seconds. Set the jello on a platter.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Use a thin bladed knife dipped in hot water to cut the jello.

MIZU YOKAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare the gelatin mixture: In a large bowl, soak the dried kanten (agar agar) stick in water for one hour or until softened.
• Remove kanten from water and squeeze the softened kanten to remove excess water.
• Using your hands, tear the kanten into small pieces.
• In a medium pan, add the kanten pieces or kanten powder with 1 1/4 cups of water and bring to a boil, making sure to stir constantly. Turn down the heat to low. Simmer until the kanten dissolves completely. All the while, make sure to stir the kanten and water.
• Next, add sugar and stir well.
• Add premade sweet red bean paste (anko or koshian). Stir constantly, making sure the bean paste is diluted in the agar agar and water mixture. Continue to simmer until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow rectangular plastic container. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then store in the refrigerator to chill. The mizu yokan should become firm.
• Cut the mizu yokan into small blocks and serve chilled.

STRAWBERRY PIE WITH JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Place the pie crust in pie pan, nestle in, crimp edge and prick bottom with fork a few times (as shown above).
• Bake pie crust for about 15 minutes or until edges are browned. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
• Layer sliced berries into the cooled baked pie crust. Fill to top.
• Stir together water sugar and cornstarch in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Remove from heat, add Jell-O and stir until dissolved.
• Pour mixture over the strawberry filled crust.
• Refrigerate until set. This will take at least 3 hours to have a good set.
• Top with whipped cream when serving.

BRITISH STRAWBERRY JELLY (JELL-O)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the sugar and 2 cups of water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil vigorously for 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool off.
• Set aside 4 or 5 of the fresh whole strawberries and hull the remaining fruit by removing the entire stems of the berries.
• Purée the hulled strawberries with an immersion blender, high-speed blender, or food processor until you've achieved a smooth texture.
• Transfer the purée to a large bowl and pour over the cooled sugar-water syrup.
• Cover with a clean cloth and let infuse for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, if you have the time.
• Once infused, pass the strawberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove any of the strawberry pulp or seeds. Set aside.
• Make sure the remaining water is cold and pour it into a small dish. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Measure 1 cup of the strained strawberry-sugar syrup mixture and heat it up in a small saucepan.
• Stir in the gelatin-water mixture and simmer very gently, avoiding a boil, until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
• Stir this mixture into the remaining strawberry-sugar syrup.
• Transfer the strawberry mixture to a 3-cup/900-ml gelatin mold or into individual smaller molds if you'd like.
• Place the mold in the refrigerator and let set. This will take a couple of hours but it is best to leave it overnight. The jelly is ready when it wobbles slightly-the fun part of the dessert.
• To unmold, carefully dip the mold in warm water for 15 to 20 seconds and remove. With wet fingertips gently pull the jelly from the sides of the mold. Place a plate on top of the mold and turn the plate and mold upside down so the jelly falls on the center of the plate. Decorate with the strawberries you saved and enjoy!

RUBY'S STRAWBERRY JELL-O® FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted cake pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Beat cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and 3 eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Beat condensed milk, evaporated milk, 4 eggs, and vanilla extract together in another bowl until flan mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Pour into prepared cake pan. Pour 3/4 of the strawberry cake batter on top of the flan mixture. Set cake pan in a roasting pan. Pour water into the roasting pan to read halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 6 hours.
• Place a plate on top of the cake pan and invert to loosen cake. Flip cake pan and plate back to return cake to the pan.
• Combine boiling water and gelatin in a bowl; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Pour 1 cup cold water into gelatin mixture. Let cool until gelatin mixture is warm to the touch. Pour gelatin mixture into the cake pan along the sides so that the gelatin runs under the cake and cake begins to float. Refrigerate until set; at least 5 hours.
• Remove cake from refrigerator and place pan in hot water to loosen from the sides of the cake pan. Invert onto a serving plate.

STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI JELLO SHOTS

Steps:

• Combine a small package of strawberry gelatin and 1 cup of water. Heat on the stove until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup rum, 1/4 cup Grand Marnier™ (or triple sec) and 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice. Set aside.
• Shave a tiny bit from the bottoms of the strawberries. Be careful that you don't take too much off: just enough to allow them to stand upright. Then, hollow out the strawberries, using a strawberry huller, paring knife or grapefruit spoon.
• Set strawberries snugly into a pan and fill them with spiked gelatin. Refrigerate and allow to set 3-4 hours.
• Just before you're ready to serve, rotate the rim of the strawberry in sugar. Garnish with mini lime wedges, if desired, and serve!

STRAWBERRY JELLO CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, make jello according to the instructions on the package, but use 1/2 of the cold water. I.e. for a 6 oz package of jello, add 2 cups boiling water and 1 cup cold water. Let Jello sit at room temperature until it is soft set and jiggles a little (while you work on the rest of the cake), then beat in thawed 8oz cool whip (see step for the cake layers).
• Line two 8" or 9" round cake pans (ideally one should be a springform pan) with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat together 6 eggs and 1 cup sugar on high speed for 12 minutes or until 3 times in volume and thickened.
• Sprinkle flour over the top and use a spatula to gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour until all lumps are gone.
• Divide your batter in half between the 2 lined baking pans and bake at 350˚F for 16-20 min or until top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Remove baked cake from the pan being careful not to squish the top and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Wash the springform pan.
• Once your cake has cooled, place the skinnier layer back into the bottom of your springform pan.
• Slice your strawberries in half (or thirds if they are very large) and place them facing tightly against the walls of the springform pan.
• At this point, you'll want to beat 8oz cool whip into your jello which should be starting to thicken. Pour your jello cream over the bottom cake and strawberries being careful not to knock down the strawberries. Smooth over the top.
• Place the second cake layer over the top of the jello and refrigerate for 2 hours or until jello is set then remove from fridge to decorate.
• To decorate, beat together the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until whipped and spreadable. I transferred it to a pastry bag and piped roses using a Wilton 2D tip. Start in the center and work your way out in circles; staying close to the surface of the cake.
• Pile fruit in the center in whatever design you like; they look good just piled up too. Put back in the fridge a couple more hours or overnight to allow the jello to fully set before serving or the cake will be too dainty and will fall apart easier when sliced. Also, you take it out of the spring form mold, fold some plastic wrap and wrap it around the jello part of this cake to keep it in place while it firms up fully.

STRAWBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Wash and hull the strawberries, and place them in a saucepan with a splash of water and lemon juice (if using). Mash with a potato masher and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until they've released their juices.
• Strain the strawberry pulp through a jelly bag or dampened cheesecloth for at least 2 hours, preferably longer for a better yield.
• It takes roughly 4 pounds of strawberries to make the 4 cups of juice needed for this recipe. If you're a bit short for any reason, add water or fruit juice.
• Bring the juice to a boil on the stovetop and add the powdered pectin. (Don't add the sugar yet.) Return the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to distribute the pectin, and boil hard for about a minute.
• Add the sugar, and return to a boil. (This is important, don't add the sugar until last or the strawberry jelly may not set.)
• Boil hard for about 1 minute, and then pour into prepared canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• Store in the refrigerator, or process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the jars to stand in the canner for an additional 5 minutes before removing them to cool.
• Check seals and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use.
