Tips:

- Use fresh pineapple whenever possible. Fresh pineapple will give your casserole a brighter, more vibrant flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry. - Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and rubbery. - Serve the casserole warm or at room temperature. The casserole can be served immediately, or you can let it cool to room temperature before serving. It's also delicious served chilled. - Garnish the casserole with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or maraschino cherries before serving. These garnishes will add a festive touch to your casserole.
