1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
1 c. boiling water
1 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry flavored gelatin
1 c. chilled, whipping cream or 1 (2 oz.) env. dessert topping mix

Drain strawberries, reserving syrup. Pour boiling water over gelatin in bowl, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Add enough cold water to reserved syrup to measure 1 cup; stir into dissolved gelatin. Chill until almost set.

In chilled bowl, beat cream until stiff. (If using dessert topping mix, prepare as directed on package.) Beat gelatin until foamy. Fold gelatin and strawberries into whipped cream.

Pour into 1 quart mold or into individual molds. Chill until firm. Unmold; if desired, serve with custard and garnish with strawberries or other fruits.

Can substitute raspberries.
