A place to share recipes, ask for cooking advice, etc.


I want to make a desert with pineapple. I have a can of sliced pineapple, so can cut if chunks or crushed is called for.

I do NOT want to do pineapple upside down.

I was thinking of something like a cobbler. But all the pineapple recipes I find on-line ask for self-rising flour, which I do not have and do not want to buy.

If I use a recipe for Apple or peach cobbler, and substitute pineapple (and maybe different spices?) is there any reason it should not work?

I'm thinking, pineapple, cherries (jar), and brown sugar; topped with flour, oats, salt, crumbled with butter.

My recipe asks for cinnamon (with apples) but I don't think cinnamon would work....what about ginger?

If anyone has a tried and successful recipe I'd appreciate it.

I think pineapple and cherries go into a dump cake. I've never made one myself but my Mom used to make them and they were delicious :)

I don't have a recipe for pineapple but I did find that you can make your own self-rising flour by adding 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt to 1 cup regular flour. The caveat was that it may be a little less tender than if you used the self-rising flour.

here is a cookie recipe very similar to one my mom used- she substituted butter for the shortening. *** sliced can pineapple may contain more juice than a can of crushed, you might want to drain some of the liquid, but not all.

Ingredients
25 mservings72 cals
  • 1/2 cup shortening

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • Add all ingredients to list

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beat well, then stir in the vanilla and pineapple. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

That chicken looks like Carrie, if she had been a chicken. Whose head had been cut off before the prom. And the stage had been bippety-boppity-booed into an aluminum pan.

I love it when you get all scientific.....

F*cking can started listing to the side. I had to put it in a tray. I am more at home in a commercial kitchen really. Lots of broilers and salamanders.

What about my sallies?
