In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the bowl and stir to combine.
Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving the juice in a separate container. Set the pineapple aside.
Measure out 1 cup of reserved pineapple juice. If there is less than 1 cup, add water to make a full cup. Stir the juice and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the gelatin mixture.
Gently fold the crushed pineapple into the gelatin mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or individual serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with orange segments and mint leaves, if desired.
