This sounds amazing. I’ve got all the basic cranberry orange sauce I need for this week, but this is gonna get fixed in the recipe folder for the rest of the holidays. I will literally eat cranberry sauce with a spoon, I love it so much.
I impulsively added these ingredients to my Instacart order and probably added too much rum in the mix. It's in the oven and smells unbelievable, you should probably TM the candle scent.
This year, I'm going to try a sauce made by cooking dried tart cherries in unsweetened cherry juice with a bit of cinnamon and ginger, sweetened just enough by adding some frozen raspberries to the pot, and thickening with cornstarch if needed. Wish me luck!
Fun fact: The enzyme which breaks down the protein in your skin and makes your hands feel soapy when cutting pineapple also break down the proteins in the baked good so it does not set correctly. The heating used in canning destroys the enzyme which is why baking recipes call for canned pineapple.
“We wanted pineapple, which we almost always have on hand ever since your comrade Vegan & Peeara or whatever she is named these days told us while we visited her in Charleston that pineapples are symbols of hospitality.”
Fun fact! In The Villages in Floriduh, displaying a pineapple (plant or art) in the front of your house is a sign that you are swingers!
From teh interwebs:
What does an upside-down pineapple mean in The Villages in Florida?
“A pineapple that is placed on your porch or mailbox by swingers lets everyone know that there is a swinger party going on. A pineapple that is turned upside down is when there is someone looking for a swinger party. Swingers also use the symbol to look for each other in public.”
Someone decided that bitter tasting cranberries would be good to eat. It's counter intuitive since bitter food is frequently poisonous. Back in the day, you ate the fruit that was in season and I suspect that they're the last fruit harvest of the year in the North.
At any rate, I've decided to use cranberries for their other great culinary contribution; Cape Codders.
Remember people used to forage a great deal, and a lot of perfectly nutritious plants and fruit are more sour or bitter than our modern palates (conditioned to consumption of industrial sludge and basically garbage) are used to. That said, cranberries are very tart and sour but I would not say bitter. An unripe persimmon is bitter.
My secret shame: At work I got to the break room late when there was pizza and all that was left was a ham and pineapple so I had a slice. I kind of liked it.

Filed* in the recipe folder! I’m in food & wine stupor.
Making this right now!
Over 4 ingredients? Fuck that shit!! ---yours truly, the ADHD chef, because there's always the kitchen junk drawer to clean out instead of cook!!

how did it turn out???
Flavor was great, but I found out I had no cornstarch in the house! I'll definitely try it again.
Thanks for the tip!
Mmmmmmmmm
Makin' this! Pineapples were on sale. Woot!
Gunna try it, one of these days 🥰
I eat between 2 and 5 fresh pineapples a week.

Fresh pineapple is SO good.
I do not want for fiber in my diet.
In the summer, I go through watermelon like nobody's business. I stay hydrated!
Whole?
Peel them and cut the top and core out.
OT: I work from home, exclusively on my laptop. I have an old one that I use as a backup, but it's maxed out on memory and run pretty slow.
Think I should scoop up a new one during the Black Friday sales, since prices will likely go through the roof if/when tariffs kick in?
DO EET!!!!!!
Yes.
I say if you can afford it, definitely. The right tool makes the job easier.
And of course my non-comment about swingers was non-comment #69….

Nice.
It's international. If you are on a cruise, watch out for people with a pineapple pin, or a sticker or badge on the cabin door.

You hate to see it...
...as a sketch, because you'd love to have been there in person.

I would swap the proportions for the pineapple and cranberries and this would be perfect.

I might be wrong, but I believe cranberries are a cultivated fruit and never appeared in the wild.
Probably some precursor berry originating in bogs did. Teaberries are found wherever cranberries grow.
Better use of pineapple than on a pizza.😝
Oh yeah, I am a chaos agent.
You really are. Pineapple is just fine with the fucking ham; however, I feel that ricotta has to be in the pizza topping to make it all work.
lol. I love pineapple with salty ham on a pizza pie.
My secret shame: At work I got to the break room late when there was pizza and all that was left was a ham and pineapple so I had a slice. I kind of liked it.
I absolve you of your shame. Go forth in peace.
Ahhh, the classics!

My dad made me pizza with pineapple and jalapenos once and it was delicious.
