Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry jello mix in boiling water. Give it a good stir until it’s fully dissolved.

5. Carefully pour the jello mixture into each strawberry, filling them just to the top.
6. Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours, or until they’ve set.
7. Once set, sprinkle granulated sugar on top and garnish with fresh lime wedges before serving.
