3 c. mashed figs
1 (6 oz.) pkg. strawberry Jello)
3 c. sugar

Thoroughly mix gelatin, figs and sugar in large pan. Bring to a boil on medium heat and boil 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Boil longer if thicker preserves is desired. Pour quickly into glasses, cover with paraffin. If darker preserves are wanted, do not peel figs. If lighter preserves, peel figs.
