Pineapple in jelly help

Tashja

I know you cannot use fresh pineapple in jelly because it won't set but is this the same for tinned pineapple ???

Trying to use my store cupboard supplies up :rolleyes:

Thanks

Tinned pineapple is fine - the tinning process denatures the enzyme which reacts with the protein in geletine.

Hi there

I think you will find that tinned pineapple won't set very well either...sorry.. upside down cake ?

I've read that the enzyme in pineapple that stops jelly setting is destroyed on cooking and tinning.

I've also read of people having trouble setting tinned pineapple jelly.

Take your pick :rolleyes:

Sorry, not much help, am I

This one looks like what my mother used to do.

Hawaiian toast is a favourite here - toast, drained tinned tomato, ham, pineapple, cheese, under the grill.

That's more helpful

How about a nice sweet and sour sauce? Maybe could use some other stuff up

Serve fruitless jelly with tinned pineapple on top

I've also heard that tinned pineapple works in jelly but I've not tried it.

I've used tinned pineapple in jelly, but keep it quite dry, it's the natural juice that stops it setting. You could maybe make your jelly a little bit less dilute as well.

I hav 3 individual portions of jelly - each with a pinnaple ring in the bottom in my fridge, and they are all set fine - I knoe because there were 4 and I've eaten one!!!
