You have to cook the pineapple first. Jello won't solidify if you add fresh pineapple.
Because pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.

Can you make jello using frozen pineapples?

No you cannot make jello with frozen pineapples because the pineapple, like kiwi fruit, contains an enzyme that will break down the proteins such as the collagen in gelatin, which will prevent the jello from setting.More information:You can use frozen pineapple to make jello provided it's been cooked before freezing.If it wasn't cooked, then you will have to cook it before making jello. Just cut it to the size you want for your dessert, cover it with pineapple juice, and microwave until hot and steaming. Refrigerate till it's cooled, then make your jello as usual.Frozen pineapply will be softer once cooked than if you started with fresh, unfrozen pineapple.


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.
