Helpful hints
- If sugar substitute is used, carbohydrate is reduced to 20 grams, carbohydrate choices are reduced to one.
- Due to the high carbohydrate content, a half portion is recommended if you have diabetes. Sugar substitutes can be used to replace sugar in many recipes. Check with your dietitian for adjustments to recipes or serving size based on your individual carbohydrate requirements.

I used this recipe instead of my usual one because I couldn't get good nutritional stats on the strawberry Jello. Used 1.5 lbs strawberries total. My strawberries weren't very good, so I increased the sugar by 1/2 cup. Too sweet! Would've been better with 1/4-1/3. I cooked the filling for a good 10-15 minutes, but after being in the fridge overnight, it didn't set. Not enough cornstarch or cook longer?
