This is one of the first things I head for when I’m at a party, its SOO good and incredibly easy too!

I make it for my family at least a couple times a month, yes we like it THAT much lol 😉

The recipe works BEST using “crushed” Pineapple but I personally like larger chunks so I used this size.

Both work just fine & taste just as good, its just a matter of preference 🙂
