Tips:

  • Choosing the right pineapple: Opt for fresh, ripe pineapples with vibrant yellow flesh and a sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Balancing sweetness and tartness: Taste the pineapple before adding sugar. If the pineapple is already sweet, you may need less sugar or none at all.
  • Substituting nuts: If you don't have pecans, you can use walnuts, almonds, or cashews instead. Just make sure to toast them for a richer flavor.
  • Cream cheese alternatives: If you prefer a lighter spread, use Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese. For a vegan option, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve the pineapple pecan cheese spread with crackers, bread, or fruit slices. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
