Chop your jelly cubes up small, and pour over just enough boiling water to get them to dissolve. Then top up using the juice from the can, to the level indicated on the jelly packet

And of course you can do the same with the juice from a tin of fruit in juice, which is what my mum always used to do;)

You can also use some milk or yogurt in place of some of the water. Just make sure you have the correct amount of liquid (usually a pint).

You can use evaporated milk too, for a milk jelly.
One thing though, DON'T try and use pineapple. Pineapples have an enzyme in them that means that the jelly will never set!

I believe tinned pineapple is Ok because it has been heat treated and the enzyme destroyed-but I haven't tried it. Fresh pineapple is a definite no-no.

We used tinned pineapple a while ago in a jelly and it set ok. Having said that I used 18fl oz of fluid not 20fl oz. I like a firm jelly so always do this
