Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients except cream cheese.
- In a microwave safe bowl, soften cream cheese and then mix in pineapple mixture.
- 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. So next time you have a pineapple on hand, try making this easy and flavorful spread. You won't be disappointed!
