Peak Season: Pineapple

One of the most popular and iconic tropical fruits is the sweet and tangy pineapple, and peak season is now! Though they are available from across the globe year-round, the best fruit is arriving just as we could all use a little lift.

Tasty Tip:

Fresh pineapple can affect the texture of recipes containing protein. Fresh pineapple is a more powerful tenderizer than canned and may make meat mushy. In desserts such as gelatins, mousses or cakes – all of which contain proteins – fresh pineapple will impact the ability of the recipe to firm up or "set." In these cases – as it is with our recipe for the classic '50s dessert, Pineapple Upside-Down Cake – canned pineapple will yield better results.
