Freeze it if you get pineapple overdose. I usually freeze it in chunks then reuse in sweet and sour etc.

Sweet and sour chicken

· 450g chicken fillet, cut into chunks
· 1-2 tbsp cornflour
· 1 red pepper, cubed
· 1 green pepper, cubed
· Carrott sliced
· 6 spring onions, sliced diagonally
· 425g can Pineapple Chunks in Juice
· 2 long, red chilies, sliced diagonally
For the sweet and sour sauce:
· pineapple juice reserved from the can
· 1 tbsp tomato ketchup*
· 1 tbsp brown sugar*
· 2 tbsp light, reduced-salt soy sauce*
· 2 tbsp white wine vinegar*
· 2 tbsp dry sherry


Method
1. Marinade the chicken in the cornflour
2. Add some oil to a pan and fry the meat, then when cooked add the vegetables and pineapple and chilies.
3. Mix the sauce ingredients together and pour over the pork and veg. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through


i don't cornflour the chicken, just cook it with the veg then add the sauce. one of my favorite recipes.

If its pineapple chunks I would do pineapple upside down cake, base line a cake tin, put in a layer of the drained pineapple, drizzle over a couple of tblsp of syrup. Top with a basic sponge mix then bake.

If its crushed pineapple - I have in the past drained it and made a super-sticky carrot cake with it. I found the recipe either on this forum or on the BBC Good Food website.
