Ingredients

1-1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
1-1/2 cups shredded coconut
3 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water

3/4 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup each red and green decorator's sugar

Directions

In a bowl, combine walnuts, coconut and gelatin. Stir in milk and vanilla; mix well. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine water and green food coloring; add almonds. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until almonds are deep green. Drain and let dry on paper towels. Using rounded teaspoonfuls of dough, form into strawberry shapes. Roll sides in red sugar; dip top end into green sugar. Insert an almond in the top for a stem. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Yield: about 9 dozen.
