Start with canned pineapple recipes
Last Updated on
Canned pineapple. No one ever claimed it was a gourmet ingredient. But it is very useful in the kitchen. Whole fresh pineapple can be tricky to cook and take time, skill (and muscle) to prepare. (I wonder if the first person will brave the spinach and thicken the skin of this delicate fruit.)
Canned pineapple comes in several varieties: crushed, chunks, and rings. I’ve always bought canned pineapple with juice; it doesn’t need sugar-heavy syrup!
I like canned pineapple for convenience and consistency. While I love fresh pineapple, there have been many times when I’ve cut into fresh fruit only to find it browned into a ring. It’s not quite a settler.
So buy some pineapple jars in all their different designs and enjoy these easy and delicious recipes.
Start with Canned Pineapple
Sweet and Sour Ground Beef
Canned pineapple is used in most sweet and sour recipes. This easy recipe is a nice quick change because you are using ground beef. Pineapple Lamb Chops
Like mint, the strong flavor of chunks of fatty lamb cut with pineapple smells like mint. This recipe is one of my favorites. Carrot Pineapple Freezer
On hot summer days, this salad makes a great breakfast wrapped in a pastry sauce. It’s pretty too; very chilling, with its soft colors. Pineapple Crust
This blank-sheet cake tastes fresh and sweet. And it’s easy to make. It’s topped with a cream cheese frosting for the perfect finishing touch. 24-Hour Salad
Despite its utilitarian name, this salad is delicate. I’ll have to rename it, but I’ve always called it a 24-hour salad. Roasted chicken fillet
Pineapple and ginger come together like peanut butter and jelly. Accompanied by a chicken sauce, this recipe is seasoned. Crab cakes with fruit salsa
Of course, crab cakes are always welcome, but when it has sweet and hot salsa with it, they rise off the plate. The best carrot cake
This easy carrot cake recipe really is the best. The crushed pineapple keeps the moisture in and adds a sweet flavor without tons of sugar. Pineapple Peanut Butter Light Bread
This recipe makes two large loaves that are moist and tender. It’s perfect for breakfast on a run or coffee break. Sweet and Sour Scallops
Finally, make some scallops with a delicious sweet and sour glaze. If you prefer, you can use firm fish like halibut instead of scallops, with shrimp or cubes.
