CANDIED STRAWBERRIES 
1 c. real fine coconut
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) strawberry Jello
3/4 c. sweetened condensed milk
1 sm. pkg. almond slivers, for stems
1 c. ground nuts
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Candied red sugar

Mix all of the above ingredients thoroughly. Chill for 1 hour. Shape into strawberries. Roll in the candied red sugar. Insert a green tinted sliver of almond for stem. To make the green almond, add a few drops of green food coloring to the almonds in a jar and shake. These can be made ahead and frozen. They freeze exceptionally well and are very decorative for dessert trays.
