Instructions
- Prepare Fruit Layers: Start by dividing 1 cup of chopped pineapple evenly into each of three mason jars, creating the base layer for the parfaits.
- Add Mandarin Oranges: Next, add a layer of drained mandarin oranges on top of the pineapple in each jar, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavor.

- For added crunch, consider topping with granola or chopped nuts.
- Ensure mandarin oranges are well-drained to avoid excess liquid diluting the parfait.
