The unmolded jello can be stored for 1-3 days in the fridge, and is best when it is served the same day it is unmolded. Fresh Strawberry Jello Ring. 8-oz fresh strawberries, thinly sliced (approx 2 cups) 5 3-oz boxes strawberry-flavored Jello. 5 cups boiling water. Pour 1 package of strawberry gelatin into a small bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over gelatin and whisk or stir vigorously to dissolve gelatin.
Slicing the strawberries for use ahead of time shortens their storage life, but packaging the sliced berries properly helps them retain both flavor and texture to use the following day. Store them plain for fresh use in your refrigerator or place them in a sugar pack so they make their own sauce for drizzling over ice cream or other desserts.
