Instructions

Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the cold water and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 5–7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
Let the mixture cool for 10–15 minutes.
Arrange the strawberries in a pie dish or a shallow serving dish.
Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

You can slice the strawberries instead of halving them for a more uniform texture.
For a sugar-free version, use a sugar substitute and sugar-free gelatin.

Best served within 2 days for maximum freshness
