How to Make Strawberry Jell O Salad

  1. In a large bowl, bloom 3 oz (1 package) of strawberry Jell-O with 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Let the Jell-O cool slightly, until it begins to thicken (but is still pourable). This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Gently stir in 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries and 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple. (To drain the pineapple, place it on paper towels for a few minutes to absorb excess moisture).
  4. Pour half of the Jell-O mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Refrigerate until set, approximately 30-45 minutes.
  5. Spread 1 cup of sour cream evenly over the set Jell-O layer.
  6. Pour the remaining Jell-O mixture over the sour cream layer.
  7. Refrigerate until the salad is completely set, at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight for a firmer consistency.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
