7 Eggs; 1/2 ts Salt; to taste
5 ts Pure vanilla extract; 2 pt Strawberries; (divided use)
-(divided use) 1 tb Unflavored gelatin;
1 c + 2 tb sugar; (divided use) 2 tb Water;
1 1/2 c Walnuts; finely ground 2 c Whipping cream;(divided use)
2 tb Flour; 1/4 c Red currant jelly; melted

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two round 9: baking pans, line them

sprinkle gelatin over water; let soften 5 minutes. Heat over low
heat to dissolve gelatin; remove from heat. Beat 1 cup cream until
it starts to thicken. Slowly pour gelatin mixture, beating until
cream thick. Fold in strawberry mixture. Spread over 1 cake layer.
