Tea Strawberries

Submitted by Mimi in Maine

"These are really a confection. Arrange them on your cookie tray at Christmas in tiny cupcake papers, or make them for a birthday party. They are so good and so pretty, and they really do look like little strawberries. You'll be amazed at how good they taste."

These are very easy to make and everyone loves them. You can also use lemon jello (2 3ounce pkgs.) and some additional lemon extract, just a drop added to the condensed sweetened milk. I suggest measuring the one pkg of jello to reserve half. Refrigerate if making ahead of time before serving.
