How to Make Jamaican Fruit Pie

  1. Sprinkle 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the zest of 1 orange, 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, a pinch of salt, and 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. Gently stir until the ice cream is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of rum extract (or to taste) and 1/2 cup of crushed macaroon cookies.
  4. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups of well-drained fruit cocktail. Pour the filling into a 9-inch baked and cooled pie shell.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the pie is completely set and firm.
