Ingredients

1 cup Coconut

1 cup Ground pecans

1 pkt (6-oz) strawberry Jello

cup Eagle Brand milk

teaspoon Vanilla

Granulated sugar

Slivered almonds

Red & green food coloring

Preparation

Mix together coconut, pecans, dry jello, milk & vanilla. Mix thoroughly & chill for 1 hour. Shape into strawberries & roll in granulated sugar which has been tinted with red food coloring. Insert a tinted green sliver of almond for a stem. To make green almond slivers, put almonds in a small jar with a few drops green food coloring & shake. These 'strawberries' freeze exceptionally well & are very decorative for dessert trays.
