The link below is for Hawaiian Fruit Salad and is a tasty recipe to set on a buffet. I have the cookbook and luckily the recipe is also on-line.

Although you didn't request a dessert, I'll pass on this simple pineapple dessert, just in case.... It's also wheat-free if you ever need to serve anyone who is gluten-intolerant or who is avoiding wheat. We like it because we love pineapple. :-)

My husband's aunt used to make a great carrot and pineapple dish. It was cooked carrot slices about 1/2 inch thick mixed with drained canned crushed pineapple (not too much - about 1/4 pineapple to 3/4 carrots). She'd put the mixture in a shallow casserole with a little brown sugar sprinkled on top and bake them until it melted into a glaze.

My family's favorite is very similar
To Bulldinkie's recipe.
The main difference, is I use AP flour.
And a very sharp Cheddar.

This recipe is in my "to try" file,
I got it here on the CF last fall some time.
I was hoping whoever posted it originally
Would chime in here with it.
I haven't tried it yet,
But it sounds so good!
How can you go wrong with spices and pineapple?

Spiced Pineapple Pickups
(as copied & pasted directly from CF)

Glenda-al's Spiced Pineapple Pickups are very good with ham and you can do them beforehand (they keep in the fridge for ages):
A 1lb13oz can of pineapple chunks in syrup
3/4 cup of vinegar
1 1/4 cups of sugar
dash salt
6 to 8 whole cloves
A 4" stick of cinnamon
Drain syrup from pineapple into a saucepan. Add the other ingredients. Heat for 10 minutes, than add pineapple and bring to a boil. Cool then place in airtight container and refrigerate. Serve cold.

All sound delicious. Thank you very much. I will be trying some tomorrow.

My favorite is very similar to Caliloo's. I love to bring this for potlucks, and people always, always, always want the recipe. We had it on the kiddush table for my son's bar mitzvah (the cooks kindly used all family recipes -- this had a little card next to it that said "Bubbie Rosalie's [my mom] baked pineapple"). There were so many requests for the recipe that time, they had to publish it in the synagogue bulletin. I swear, I'm not making that up. :-)

I'm always a little embarrassed to give the recipe, because the truth is, if you put this much butter on DOG FOOD it would taste good. Not exactly Mediterranean Diet health food, either.

Anyway, here you are, Enjoy!

Gellchom's Mom's Baked Pineapple

1 20-oz can crushed pineapple (donâÂÂt drain)
ý c sugar
2 T flour
2 large eggs
ü lb. butter (I usually use a bit less)

Beat eggs and mix into pineapple. Stir in sugar and flour mixed together. Toast bread and cut into small cubes. Melt butter in frying pan. Add toast cubes and stir to crisp the cubes. Put pineapple mixture into greased 1 ý qt. casserole and put buttered cubes on top. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

I usually double this and bake in a 13x9" Pyrex dish.

Grilled Fresh Pineapple by Jamie Oliver servings 4
1 small tub of crème fraîche ( I used Yoplait Original French Vanilla )
1 vanilla pod, scored lengthways and seeds scraped out
1 pineapple
icing sugar, for dusting
a handful of fresh mint, leaves picked and finely sliced
Preheat your barbecue. (I use indoor grill.) Beat the crème fraîche with the seeds from the vanilla pod and put to one side.
Cut the ends off the pineapple. Sit it on a board and cut off the skin in wide strips from top to bottom, making sure you cut out any woody eyes. Thinly slice the pineapple, and dust the slices with icing sugar.
Make sure the bars of the barbecue are clean especially if youâÂÂve been cooking fish or meat beforehand and drop the slices of pineapple on to it. Grill for about 30 seconds on each side then lift off with the tongs and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve scattered with mint and a generous dollop of vanilla-flavoured crème fraîche.
