I think fruit in jelly is a completely classic combination. I bet it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm? I've mixed pineapple and jelly before and I don't think I'll be doing it again in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteI was telling my Mum about my pineapple rings/jelly in a can combo and she said she used to make one every Christmas and fill the centre with cherries to make it look festive and Christmassy. I have no memories of this, or if I've mentioned it to you before...
