Will jello shots set if you substitute fruit juice for water?
Yes, as long as you do not use pineapple juice. this prevents the gelatin from setting.
What happens when you add fresh pineapple juice to jello?
Due to the bromelain enzyme in fresh pineapple, the jello will not set. Jello has the protein gelatin in it, and the bromelain prevents the gelatin molecules to bond with other gelatin molecules. If you make two molds of jello, one with pineapple, one without, you will find that only the one without pineapple will set. If you use canned pineapple, the jello will set because canned products are heated to eliminate microbes, but it also destroys or greatly reduces the amount of enzymes present.
Will reheating your set jello still solidify?
Gelatin is a reversible colloid, so yes, if you melt a set jello, it should set again when chilled. However, other ingredients, such as pineapple, may alter the gelatin so that it does not set.
Does canned pineapple keep jello from setting up?
The acids which build up from canned fruit of all varieties may slow the set time of jello, but should not prevent it entirely.
Why does pineapple not work in gelatin?
The proteins in the pineapple called bromelain will break down the strands of protein in gelatin that forms jello. Hence, the effect of a fresh piece of pineapple on gelatin is able to keep the gelatin liquidfied.

What is the best way to slice a pineapple?
First, place the pineapple long ways on a cutting board. Then slice off each of the ends, the top and the bottom. Then set the pineapple vertically. Slice off each of the sides. Make sure to cut enough so the "eyes" of the pineapple are removed. After this, cut the pineapple in half, then half again. Remove the core of the pineapple and then cut into small pieces. Enjoy!
