Okay, I have done it both ways, and if you use hot water for the first part, forfeiting the cold, it just takes longer to gel. I am wondering too, if you should have waited till it was partially gelled before adding the pineapple; years ago, I recall mom saying if you put pineapples in jell-O too soon, it willl not congeal.

Did you put cold water in it after the hot?
Usually, you add the boiling water first, then add cold water.
Did you drain the fruits?

Hi,

I made a jello mold because my son likes it; I used two packages of jello, and boiled four cups of water! I frained two cans of mandarin oranges and one can of crushed pineapple. After boiling the jello, I added a container of Cool Whip and marshmallows and then poured my jello mixture into it! It's not setting, like I think it should; it's still somewhat watery, instead of thickened.
What can I do differently, to get it to set faster next time?
Thanks.
