This is one of the recipes from "Kitchen Chatter Book " I love the idea of this individual salad- it always looks so elegant on the plate with the cottage cheese. This will be great to serve with a scoop of sherbet or ice cream for a dessert dish too! You can use any flavor Jello to match the holiday season. This one is for St. Patrick's Day; use cherry or strawberry for Valentine's Day!

  • Step 1
    Drain pineapple juice into a saucepan. Leave rings in the can; set aside. Boil juice, add jello and stir until dissolved. Slowly pour jello over pineapple rings in the can. Tap can on counter-its hot so use pot holder; this is to remove and bubbles.
  • Step 2
    Refrigerate until jello is set. Just before serving, run hot water over outside of can or remove other end of can with can opener; like you would for cranberry jelly.
