Creamy Strawberry Jello

This recipe was originally from my Aunt Nancy. She is hands down, the queen of Jello. She makes it for every holiday or get together and she's probably got a million different recipes. All very good. The recipe on here is adapted from one of her recipes for a Raspberry Jello. I used strawberries with mine and I'm not sure if she blends the berries in hers or just mixes them in. (I blended for a creamier consistency.) Either way you make it, it's a crowd pleaser!
