Minted Pineapple Mold

 

Minted Pineapple Mold.

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup mint-flavored apple jelly
  1. Put 1 envelope unflavored gelatin in a saucepan with ½ cup syrup from a 20 ounce can crushed pineapple.

  2. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat; add ⅓ cup mint-flavored apple jelly and stir until melted.

  4. Add crushed pineapple and remaining juice.
  5. Chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon confectioner’s sugar to 1 cup heavy cream; beat until stiff.
  7. Fold into gelatin mixture.
  8. Turn into a 5 cup mold; chill until firm.

  9. Unmold to serve and garnish with fresh mint.

(This recipe was in “The American Weekly” along with other recipes from the chef at the White House. I tried this and found it to be excellent. (Although I never did use fresh mint as a garnish!——other fruits in the season do very nicely.) This recipe will probably be as close as we’ll ever get to the White House!)
