  • 2 cans pineapple sliced - any brand
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 6 g agar agar powder (green color) - 1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp
  • 1 tbsp green lime juice
  • reserve pineapple syrup from 1 can and fill up with water to 500ml
  • pitted maraschino cherries, cut into half

Instructions
 

  • Empty pineapple slices from can and drain well. Reserve pineapple syrup from 1 can and fill up with water to 500ml. **You can use pineapple syrup from 2 cans and fill with water to 500ml, add sugar to your taste if you have a sweet tooth.
  • Place pineapple (12) slices back into the can (no need to wash the can), stack them up with red cherries, set aside.
  • Pour pineapple syrup and water (total 500ml) into pot. Add sugar and agar agar powder. Boil and stir liquid at medium heat for 2 minutes. Add lime juice, stir well and off heat. Continue to stir liquid for another 2 minutes. **may add a few drops of green coloring if you find the liquid colour is too light** I didn't add ~~
  • Gently pour hot agar agar liquid over pineapple slices. **If the pineapple slices in the can are slanting at one side, then use a small knife and gently push them back to straight in the centre. Leave pineapple jelly to cool and cover with a cling wrap. 
  • Place the cans in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. **can keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days**
  • To remove the pineapple jelly from the can, just invert the can and use a can opener to open the end. Gently release pineapple jelly, slice and serve.
