- Adventures in the land of brewis, fidget pie, singin' hinnies and other assorted olden delights, as well as a trawl through the best and worse of post-war recipery - a blog where we test out vintage recipes from cookery books we find at car boots and down the chazzer, and document and (usually) eat the results.

I’m confused by this – I thought there was an enzyme in pineapple which prevented gelatin from setting.

Elly, I thought the same thing. The last packet of jelly I bought actually mentioned this about pineapple and papaya…
I am now scared by this dish.

Right, I’m petitioning to see a scan of the other side of the card!

No problem, though you’ll have to wait til I’m done moving house!

The recipe uses tinned pineapple, which is cooked, and cooking destroys the enzyme. It’s only the wholesome fresh fruit that’ll sabotage your jelly plans. If you only have fresh pineapple or papaya for a gelatine dish, briefly cook it first.
