Pin for Later:
Although well last Halloween, looking for something different to bring to a super bowl party. Do the Hot Tamales fully dissolve? You mention only straining the strawberries.
They should fully dissolve, especially if you shake up the jar well while it sits. But if any pieces do remain, they end up getting stained out with the strawberries.
Is there any harm by not straining the strawberries??
Straining gets out the pieces of strawberries so that the moonshine will be nice and smooth (rather than chunky).
