  • Working on your cutting board cut a small part of the bottom of the strawberry off. Make sure there are no holes in the bottom.
  • Cut off a small part of the top off the strawberry.
  • Very carefully scoop out the inside of the strawberry without making a hole in the bottom. (a hole in the bottom will cause the Jell-O to leak out.)
  • Place the prepped strawberries in the plastic containers to keep them from falling over. Then place them on your cookie sheet.

Prep the Jell-O Mixture

  • Bring the cup of water to a boil and remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the Jell-O mix until completely dissolved.
  • Pour in the chilled cup of tequila and ½ cup triple sec into the Jell-O mix. Stir until well mixed.
  • Pour your mixture into your liquid cup measure.

Slowly Pour Your Mixture Into the Prepped Strawberries.

  • Fill up the strawberries as much as possible because Jell-O shrinks a bit when it becomes firm. Be ready this can be a messy step.

Refrigerate for at Least Four Hours or Until Jell-O Has Become Firm.

Cut the Lime Into Slices, Then Cut Each Slice Into Small Triangles.

  • Run the cut lime around the edge of the top of the strawberries. This done so the sugar will stick to the top of the strawberries.
  • Keep the small triangles of lime. They are also decorations for your strawberries.

Gently Dip the Top of Each of Strawberry Into the Sugar and Place Back on Your Cookie Sheet
