Have to admit I've only tried to do fresh pineapple in jelly so perhaps there's something about the crushed pineapple in tins that means it works!  Not even sure they still sell crushed pineapple although haven't bought any tinned fruit for ages so not even looked!

Must admit I've only seen orange, strawberry and raspberries jelly recently.  I know a while back Morrisons were selling a lemonade jelly as crystals but haven't been able to get that one recently either.

I used to love a pudding called honeycomb mould which had a jelly and a mousse layer.

@annieb64 honeycomb mould was one of my favourites, too. Delia online has a recipe for it https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/international/european/british/old-fashioned-honeycomb-mould
 
@Katiehound you can buy lemon jelly cubes online from the “big river” website.

Fresh pineapple has an enzyme that prevents jelly from setting.   Ive heard fresh Kiwi fruit does the same.

Fresh pineapple also kills worms, so don’t put any in a wormery.

Am guessing it doesn't work on intestinal worms as the bromelain will be denatured earlier in the system.
