Re: Frosted Strawberry Salad

Will the jello set with the pineapple in it?
The packages I have say it won't set up if you add fresh or frozen pineapple, kiwi, ginger root, papaya, figs or guava.

Just checking....

Re: Frosted Strawberry Salad

I use the canned pineapple- drain it if you have trouble with jello setting up. I do not use the mint.
