PJ, Can I substitute the "2 1/4-ounce packages plain gelatin" for KAF's instant clearjel powder or KAF's signature secrets culinary thickener? And if so, would the amounts be the same? This sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing & responding to my question. Hmmm, sounds like you want to substitute ClearJel or Signature Secrets for the plain gelatin, is that right? I've never tried it, so I wouldn't know if it would work; neither is capable of thickening as much as gelatin. But, perhaps if you used enough, it would thicken enough. Try mixing ClearJel with the sugar, then stirring it into the strawberries; your goal should be a mixture that's a consistency that when you add whipped cream, it's still thick enough to stand on its own. Good luck - PJH
