How to Make Ruby Red Jellies

In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
Puree the strawberry mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth.
In a saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of water until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier.
Add the pureed strawberries to the lemon-Grand Marnier mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into 4-6 champagne glasses or small dessert dishes.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jellies are completely set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream, if desired.
