Alice's Elegant Pineapple Fluff Dessert




For as long as I can remember, every week, we had a traditional Sunday dinner and my Grandmother Alice always made some sort of dessert from scratch for this meal. Pineapple fluff was one of her favorites and mine too. I remember making this with her in her kitchen  on numerous occassions. A dessert of the "great generation", I want to keep this one alive. It's also super fast and easy!
Serve in crystal serving pieces and this dessert feels extra fancy! YUM!


Pineapple Fluff
1 large can of crushed pineapple
3/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of water
1 envelope of Knox gelatin
1/4 cup of water
1 pint of whipping cream or heavy cream

Cook together the crushed pineapple (with the juice), sugar, and 3/4 cup water. Dissolve Knox gelatin in the 1/4 cup water. Add gelatin mixture to the pineapple mixture. Let cool. 
Whip 1 pint whipping cream and mix all together. Let chill several hours or overnight.
