Jell-O contains Gelatin, a natural protein. When jell-O powder is mixed with hot water, the gelatin actually dissolves in the water. Once it cools, the gelatin begins to reform into the rubbery, jiggly mass we all know and love.

How could you successfully make jello with pineapple in it?

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.
