1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
slivered almond
green food coloring


Recipe



1. Mix first 5 ingredients together (excluding the extra 3 Tbsp of strawberry gelatin).
2. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours.
3. Roll into balls and shape in the form of strawberries.
4. Roll in the 3 Tbsp of gelatin.
5. Top with"leaves" made from almonds dyed green of green tinted powdered sugar icing.
