I have been doing my homework big time on the Cirque du Soleil audition process.  My buddy is one of the acrobatic trainers and he told me that the Red Bastard had just been through.  He is the clown in the new Cirque show, "Iris" opening up in LA.  He is very funny and totally out there.  Check it out:

PINEAPPLE JELLY


Ingredients:
Pineapple .... 1
Pineapple jelly ... 1 pkt.
Cake .................. 7-8 slices ( you can use plain cake or fruit cake )
Sugar .......... 5-6 tbsps.

Method:

1. Peel and cut the pineapple into thin slices.

2. In a pan, mix the sugar with 2 cups of water and cook the pineapple slices for 10 - 12 minutes on low flame. This way you can preserve the pineapple slices and use them in the desserts, as raw pineapple gives a bitter taste if used directly. (You may use the canned one too )
3. Heat water and dissolve the jelly cristals in it as per the instructions on the packet.
4. Line a flat bottomed glass dish with the cake slices and pour half jelly on them and refrigerate to set.
5. Now pour the remaining jelly on it and garnish with the pineapple slices.
6. Refrigerate again to set.
