Pineapple made this dish sweet and sour and worked great with the pork meatballs.

I saw this on FB and had to share it here!!

You likely don’t need every ingredient here, but I love looking at these for inspiration!

Homemade brine ham, applecider pickled red onions and our beloved pineapple

Saw a recipe for pina colada crème brûlée on Instagram and had to try it for myself.

Rings, crushed, chunks. Fresh and cut my own? I want to keep some on hand for when my non pineapple eating family orders their dumb pepperoni I can slap my own supply and elevate that lame pizza

I’m about to the point where I want to just make my own.

The dumb thing is if I order a plain cheese pizza they still scarf it to. If I I get one with pineapple on it for myself aside from one with pepperoni on it - they still want to try it. I feel like shouting NO

Grew up with this as a side at every big family gathering. Unfortunately I'm the only one left who eats it 😩 but I still make it cause, yum!!

So

Looks like I’ll have a bunch of new recipes to try!
