STRAWBERRY BAVARIAN CREAM Recipe

Drain strawberries, reserving syrup. Pour boiling water over gelatin in bowl, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Add enough cold water to reserved syrup to measure 1 cup; stir into dissolved gelatin. Chill until almost set. In chilled bowl, beat cream until stiff. Beat gelatin until foamy. Fold gelatin and strawberries into whipped cream. Pour into 1 qt. mold or into individual molds. Chill until firm. Take out of mold. If desired, serve with sweetened whipped cream or creamy stirred custard and garnish with strawberries or other fruit.
