main course using tin pineapple?

Options
Hello
I am trying to eat out of my cupboards for as long as possible, just buying the bare minimum but ~I have two tins of pineapple that I cannot get into my menu!

We don't really eat pud so does anyone have any ideas for using the pineapple chunks in a main course?

    How about a sweet and sour sauce with pineapple chunks in?

    Sweet and sour something? Or with gammon? I'd make a pineapple upside down cake, but I'm a pudding kinda gal!

    Sweet and sour - either pork or meatballs with onions and peppers - and then make a sauce with sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice from the tin, soysauce, ginger and the chunks of pineapple - thicken with cornflour.

    How about Hawaiian burgers - burgers with cheese, pineapple slice and coleslaw on top? Really yummy!!

    I don't think my family would eat a main course that has pineapple in it! What about using the pineapple for one of you five-a -day for breakfast?

    Or have a retro-bufet one night, with cheese & pineapple on sticks :)
  • thanks for the ideas -purpleivy, you may be right I will have to run the ideas past DH before I get too carried away (I love your signature too!)

    Maybe we should just eat it as a snack one day?
