Will jelly set with pineapple?
It sets because the protein molecules tangle up as they cool down trapping the water to make a solid. Fresh fruits such a pineapple, kiwi and papaya contain enzymes which break down these protein molecules, making them smaller, so they can’t tangle up, which stops the jelly setting.
Can I put frozen berries in jelly?
The best frozen fruits for jams or jellies are blueberries, red and black currants, gooseberries and rhubarb. Many fruits collapse as they thaw and may create an inaccurate measure. Jams and jellies from frozen fruit and juice are better if no sugar is added before freezing.

Can Canned Pineapple be used in Jello?

How long does it take jello to partially set?

Why is my jello not setting?
If the gelatin is not completely dissolved before cold water is added, it will not set properly. Remove all fruits that can prevent the JELL-O from setting. Fruits such as guava, figs, ginger, papaya, pineapple and kiwi all contain an enzyme which breaks down the gelatin and prevents it from setting properly.
Will Jello shots set faster in the freezer?
You can speed up the set time by placing it in the freezer, but you’ll have to keep checking them to make sure they don’t freeze. Jello shots can last in the fridge for up to three to five days, so you can still make them in advance of the party without having to freeze them!
