Jeremy's Mom's Strawberry Jelly Ring

Emila brittain made this for our team party for the east toronto dodgers all-star baseball team many years ago; i asked for the recipe and she faxed it to me on may 31, 1996. For a long time, i lost the fax -- but i finally found it! I thought it best to get this here at zaar for two reasons: the fax has already started to fade badly, and i don't want to lose this delicious recipe again. Emila served it as a salad, but it could also be a dessert. Please note that the time to prepare doesn't include the chilling time.
