Strawberry desserts

A popular dessert recipe in the summer is strawberry desserts. Strawberries are sweet and just yell out that it is summertime. This strawberry pretzel salad, this strawberry dessert is full of strawberry flavor because it uses both strawberry Jello and fresh strawberries. 

Strawberry Jello

This strawberry pretzel salad is actually versatile. You do use strawberry jello with fresh strawberries for it. However, I have changed it up by switching out the strawberry jello with other flavors. So instead of using strawberry jello, try these combinations:

  • Peach Jello with peaches
  • Cranberries with clear gelatin (use cranberry juice to make the gelatin cranberry flavor)
  • Black cherry Jello with Bing cherries
  • Pineapple Jello with pineapple tidbits
