Just to comment on this:
"PQ also claimed not to like onions, which I know is a lie; she
will eat cooked ones"
My DH hates onions. Raw, cooked, caramelized, chives, onion
jam.... All forms.
There are times he will try to eat around the onions in a dish
because someone else made it? But he doesn't like it and he will
grump to me afterwards. My sister would always try to say that
when she'd make a chicken and rice dish that DH really didn't
mind onions as much as I said because he always would eat some.
Uh, he's an adult. He didn't sit there and ask for a different
meal. He sucked it up and ate some and then we'd stop at
Whataburger on the way home.
Even his Mom has never taken his dislike of onions into full
account. I remember her once telling me she just chopped up the
onions really fine in her potato salad so that "he won't
notice". That made it worse because there is no way to eat
around them. And mincing onion increases the onion flavor. I
took one bite and had to warn DH to stay away from it. I even
had a hard time eating a spoonful it had so much onion flavor.

Thanks for asking! Here it is:
1 box Black Cherry Jello (I recommend the sugar-free)
6 oz boiling water
8-10 oz of Cherry Kijafa wine
Various fresh fruits. Recommended:
blueberries / raspberries / blackberries
strawberries
pineapple
cherries (maraschino, if fresh are unavailable)
Refrigerate the wine overnight before beginning this. Prepare
the jello with 6 oz boiling water and continue to stir until the
steam dissipates. pour in wine to make 16 oz and stir for one
minute before refrigerating overnight.
Clean fruit, quarter strawbs, and cut pineapple into bite-sized
pieces. Distribute into bowls or stemware and add spoonfuls of
the gelatin. Serves 6.

How do you get this to set? gelatin won't properly set in the
precense of the enzyme bromelain in fresh pineapple.

You don't put the fruit in unset gelatin. You spoon the set
gelatin over the fruit. I will edit the instructions to clarify
that.

Thank you, i wasn't sure if it was a different method or a use
of perhaps canned pineapple.

Too many people have bad memories of canned fruit cocktail
suspended in jello, so I did it this way instead. I am also
unsure whether the jello would set this way because of the booze
content. I also didn't want anyone to think I was using canned
fruit
My Drunken Fruit Salad will probably be a contribution to the
Christmas party if I have a chance to get to Chinatown before
then. That recipe uses canned peaches, mandarin orange
sections, and lychee fruit.

We're fortunate enough here in LA to have a sufficient Asian
grocery in almost every neighborhood, so going downtown to
Chinatown is rarely necessary for this sort of thing.
In fact, I think most of our supermarkets have everything except
canned lychees in the canned fruit & veggie aisle.

I am pretty sure New York does too. In fact they have a Hmart in
Manhattan.

Not just New York or L, I live in the midwest in the area of a
medium size city and we have quite a few Asian markets. You can
get pretty much any ingredient you want. There is a store near
me that specializes in produce. It's not an Asian market, but
sometimes they have fresh lychees and rabutans.

Yup. I live in the boonies in the midwest and there are Asian
markets. They're not just in big major cities. Maybe google if
there are any nearby so you don't have to make a special trip to
Chinatown.

Columbus, too, has lots of really good Asian, African, and other
markets.
