Pineapple Slice Jello

[ea56]

This is for Kevin of Cavalcade of Food. Today, before the sh*t hit the fan in DC I decided to make this recipe of Kevin’s that I saw on Cavalcade of Food a few weeks ago.
Since the new Dole Pineapple slice cans have a pull top and the inside ridge makes getting the finished Jello out of the can I cut the entire top off with my can opener before I poured in the Jello.

I drained the pineapple juice into a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup and nuked it for about 2.25 mins until it boiled, put a small box of Orange Jello into the hot juice, stirred well to dissolve, then poured it into the can and refrigerated it until gelled.

Then to unmold, I cut off the bottom of the can, ran a sharp knife around the inside edge of the can to loosen the Jello, and crossed my fingers that it would unmold.

Looks like it will make some nice slices for dessert tonight. Thanks for the recipe Kevin.

I am going to try it too.

We just ate some and it is delicious! The Jello is super concentrated because I used only the amount of juice from the can, 1 cup, with the small pk of Jello.

The only thing I’d do different is wrap a hot cloth around the can for about 30 sec before unmolding, I think the Jello would come out more smoothly. Will definitely make it again.

Eddie!

That looks wonderful! Yours came out beautifully and I love how you used the juice in the can to ramp up the pineapple flavor!

Yes - you only use one cup of liquid per box of jello (instead of the usual two) for this recipe. I found that a quick warm water dunk helped to loosen the jellow from the can.

The original recipe called for lime jello, but I love the orange/pineapple combination.

So glad you tried this fun recipe!! You can also cut a couple of slices and top it with some cottage cheese.

Happy New Year!!

I made this for Thanksgiving with lime Jell-O and my wife & sister really liked it.
