Candied Pineapple Chunks Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, add potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt, cover with water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook until fork tender and drain. In another saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, pinch salt, pineapple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened some - won't be real thick, more like a glaze. If you want a thicker glaze, add a small amount of corn starch to the pineapple juice before adding. Once sauce is to desired thickness and potatoes are cooked. Add the drained pineapple to the glaze and cook until heated through. Stir in the vanilla. Gently toss the sweet potatoes with the glaze, being careful not to break up potatoes too much. Heat through for a few minutes and pour into a serving dish. Sprinkle with pecans if using. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Peel pineapple and slice into bite sized chunks.
• In a heavy saucepan bring sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil.
• Add pineapple chunks.
• Cook over low heat until fruit becomes transparent.
• Drain pineapple on rack and allow to dry.
• Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Bring pineapple juice, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil; cook on medium heat 4 minutes. Add pineapple slices; simmer on low heat, turning frequently, 45 minutes or until translucent.
• Transfer slices to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees until pineapple caramelizes and is less sticky, 60 to 90 minutes. Let cool on rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until smooth. Drain the pineapple in a strainer, reserving the juice. Stir in about half the pineapple and half the pineapple juice; reserve the rest of the pineapple and juice for another use. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture directly over the sweet potatoes.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the sweet potatoes are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Plate and serve immediately. Pour extra sauce from the bottom of the baking dish on top.
