- Pour 1/2 cup jelly into a 7cm-deep, 10.5cm x 20cm (6-cup capacity) rectangular pyrex loaf dish. Place in freezer for 5 to 10 minutes or until set.
- Place a single layer of strawberries, cut side down, onto set jelly. Pour over another 1 cup jelly. Return to jelly freezer for 10 minutes or until set. Repeat layering twice more with remaining strawberries and jelly. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.

- Notes ~ Quick set jelly is made from a vegetable gum which is extracted from red seaweed, instead of the usual gelatine, and sets in under an hour. Quick set jelly has a firmer texture than regular jelly. Regular and quick set jelly are interchangeable.
