Best Answer

Adding fruit to jello before refrigerating/setting won't affect the overall shape of the finished product. Since jello is liquid before being put into the refrigerator, it will take the shape of the container you put it in, whether or not fruit is added. Note that since fruit pieces are heavier than the liquid jello, your fruit will settle to the bottom during refrigeration.

It depends on the fruit. Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple will destroy the Gelatin properties (what allows the gelatin to actually "set" under refrigeration) because of an enzyme they contain called bromelain. Fresh or frozen-fresh fruits that contain bromelain should not be used in jello because of this. However, canned versions are acceptable, since during the canning process the bromelain enzyme is denatured (aka deactivated). Research which fruits contain the bromelain enzyme, and if you desire to use these particular fruits in jello, be sure to use the canned versions.
