Directions:
Directions:
1. Let both containers of frozen strawberries defrost (6 hours in refrigerator or 3 hours in kitchen) – thaw the frozen
orange juice just enough to make it slide our of the can and combine it with water – stir to blend
2. Measure 1 cup of orange juice into a small sauce pan and sprinkle gelatin over it - stir in sugar and salt the stir over
low heat until gelatin is dissolved, continue to stir while adding the remainder of the orange juice – chill in refrigerator
until slightly thickened (if it should harden too much, reheat over boiling water to melt and then rechill to proper
consistency).
3. Whip the cream stiff and fold into chilled gelatin mixture – put the lady finger cookies around the outside of the mold
then pour the gelatin mixture into a ring mold – chill until firm
4. To serve unmold onto a cold plate – have the sliced strawberries and the whole ones lightly tossed together so all
are covered with juice – fill the center of mold – slice the Charlotte to serve it with the berries spooned over the slice.
