- How to Make Pineapple Jelly Recipe
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
- Add gelatin powder to cold water in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until spongy.
- (Skip this step if using agar-agar.)
Step 2: Heat the Pineapple Juice
- In a saucepan, gently heat pineapple juice and sugar over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin
- Take the saucepan off the burner. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it dissolves completely. If using, squeeze in some lemon juice.
- For agar-agar:
- Boil agar-agar with water for 2–3 minutes, then mix it into the hot pineapple juice.
Step 4: Set the Jelly
- Pour the mixture into moulds or bowls. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours until set.
Step 5: Serve
- Unmould carefully or serve directly chilled.

Notes
- Do not use raw fresh pineapple juice, as it prevents the jelly from setting. Use canned juice or boil fresh juice first.
- Do not boil the mixture after adding gelatin, or the jelly may not set properly.
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the pineapple juice.
- For a vegetarian version, replace gelatin with agar-agar.
- Allow the jelly to cool before refrigerating for the best texture.
