What is crushed pineapple?
Crushed pineapple is pineapple that’s been finely chopped or pureed and packed in juice or syrup. It’s commonly canned and used in baking for its juicy consistency and sweet-tart flavor. Crushed pineapple adds both moisture and natural sweetness to cakes, slices, muffins, and other desserts.
What to do with leftover crushed pineapple?
Leftover crushed pineapple is incredibly versatile. Use it to make pineapple desserts, in smoothies, yogurt bowls, or as a topping for oatmeal, ice cream, and pancakes. You can also fold it into muffin batter, quick breads, or homemade popsicles. For a savory twist, add it to salsas, salads, or marinades for chicken and pork.
