Provided by Chesska

Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced

1 teaspoon seasoning salt

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients except cream cheese.

  • Mix well and chill over night.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: Use ripe, sweet pineapples for the best flavor. They should have a golden yellow color and a fragrant smell.
  • Chop the pineapple finely: Chop the pineapple into small pieces so that it cooks evenly and blends well with the other ingredients.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a vibrant flavor to the spread. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute ground ginger, but use less as it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the spread: The spread should be cooked until it thickens but not for too long, or it will become too thick and lose its delicate flavor.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetness: Taste the spread before serving and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if desired.

Conclusion:

Pineapple spread is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be used as a spread for toast, crackers, or pancakes, or as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish. It can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies for a sweet and tangy flavor. With its vibrant color and delicious taste, pineapple spread is a surefire hit at any gathering.
