Ginger Pineapple Jello Mold
"This is lovely with a nice ham dinner. Don't use fresh pineapple or fresh ginger - the enzymes will prevent the gelatin from setting. And for a summer variation: I added one heaping cup of blueberries to the mix when I added the pineapple (left out the ground ginger), yummy! **and ingredients/directions slightly changed to address the consistency issue mentioned by reviewer - it should set better in a mold now!"

This is a very good jello salad. The bit of added ginger is just noticeable and supplied that something different, I used sugar free Jello and ginger ale for a diabetic friendly dish. This is so good in the summer heat (105 F today) that you could almost make it the whole meal. Thanks MA for this one.I have to add that while mine set to my satisfaction it was a soft set that would not have held a moulded shape.

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
