If you put fresh pineapple in a Jell-o salad, the gelatin will refuse to set. I have no idea why. You always find pineapple at the top of a fruit cocktail can, together with grapes and cherries. Pears and peaches are always on the bottom. I’m not sure why this is so, either. Pineapples come from a bromeliad-type shrub that looks a lot like the top of the pineapple. In fact, if you save and tend a pineapple top, you could in theory grow your own. When choosing a pineapple at the store, pull one of the leaves in the center of the top. If it comes out easily, the fruit will be sweet and juicy. For many years the pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality. The same is true of the Pineapple quilt block. Traditional colors for a quilt made of these blocks is green and red. I chose pineapple colors instead.
