• To a blender, add the strawberries, water, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until pureed. You can pulse if you prefer strawberry chunks in your popsicles.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the puree and bring to a boil over medium heat. Be careful to watch it, as it can easily boil over. Reduce the heat to low and add the gelatin. Stir until dissolved.
• Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into popsicle molds and place in the freezer until frozen.

To unmold:

• Run the popsicles under hot water for a few seconds and gently remove from popsicle mold.
