Strawberry Kissel
Description
The recipe won't take much time. One of the greatest advantages of kissel is that it can be made equally well from fresh or frozen berries. Freeze strawberries in season, and you can enjoy fresh, delicious strawberry kissel all year round. Kissel can be served either hot or cold—whichever you prefer. For quenching thirst, in my opinion, cold kissel is best, but if you're washing down some pancakes, hot kissel works well too.
