What each ingredient does
- Pineapple chunks
- Adds fruit flavour, sweetness and juice that becomes part of the set jelly.
- Jelly crystals
- Set the liquid into a firm, wobbly gel as it cools.
The step that matters
Using slightly less water than directed. The pineapple juice adds liquid to the mixture. Using slightly less water keeps the total liquid balanced so the jelly can set firmly rather than staying soft.
