“I’ve made this according to the recipe several times,” says skunk. “It makes a great side for a steak dinner along with grilled veggies, served alone or with grilled pears for dessert, or diced and added to coleslaw for a BBQ feast.”

“Wonderful taste and easy to make,” raves Scott Erla. “Used as a side dish but would have made a great dessert too!”

“I made this recipe as is with the exception of cutting the pineapple into spears instead of rings,” according to yucareb. “Turned out really juicy and REALLY sweet! I actually dipped mine in a bit of salt as I was eating to cut the sweetness some.”
