Pineapple Jello

A refreshing treat that got me impatiently waiting for summer to get here. Living in the greater Pacific Northwest, I find myself dreaming of tropical beaches and endless amounts of sun. This gave me that tropical escape that I was longing for. The best part? It was easy to make!!


Needed:
1 20 oz can sliced pineapple
1 3 oz package of lime Jello

Directions:
- Remove the top lid of the pineapple completely and pour out all of the juice.
- Make the Jello as directed BUT only using one cup of water instead of the two that is called for.
- Once you have the Jello boiling on the stove top, pour the contents directly into the can of pineapple.
*Be careful as the can gets extremely hot!*
- Set the can inside of the refrigerator and let sit for four hours at the minimum.
- Once the can has set and cooled, use a can opener to remove the bottom lid of the can.
- You can then run some warm water over the can to loosen the Jello and slowly try to push the mold out of the can.
- Place on a plate, slice and enjoy :)

This is one of our favorite treats. I cannot wait to try other flavors. Maybe cherry with some Cool Whip on top next time? Great idea for bringing to a summer barbecue!
