Ingredients

• 2 cups Pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 packets Unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Candied ginger (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, grated ginger, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

In a bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.

Step 3

Once the gelatin has bloomed, pour the warm pineapple juice mixture over it. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 4

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and mix well.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 6-cup jello mold or bundt pan with a neutral-flavored oil to ensure easy unmolding. Pour the mixture into the mold, smoothing the surface with a spatula if necessary.

Step 6

Refrigerate the mold for at least 4 hours or until the jello is fully set and firm to the touch.

Step 7

To unmold, dip the mold briefly into warm water (about 10 seconds), then invert onto a serving plate and gently lift the mold away.

Step 8

Garnish with whipped cream and candied ginger, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
