This sounds very interesting.
Ahhh, a recipe! Thanks. 🙂
Is this meant to work as a main dish or a side dish? I'm a little intrigued. It does sound interesting
Side dish. I would think this would be tasty as a side dish to a nice ham.
I made this as a side dish for Easter. It was a big success. Even picky eaters loved it. I used brown sugar and did not pack it when measuring, since the pineapple is already sweet. Hand grated sharp cheddar is much better than store-bought shredded cheese. This could even pass as a dessert. Love the versatility and uniqueness of a fruit dish…tasty hot or like warm…fit perfectly in my square 8×8" Pyrex dish. Thanks for sharing!
I agree with you on the freshly shredded cheddar, it is much better than buying already shredded. Thank you so much for the feedback 🙂
