Pineapple Preserves

Once opened, pineapple preserves should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Unopened, commercially prepared preserves can often be stored at room temperature for an extended period, following package directions.

Stir preserves into yogurt or oatmeal for a tropical breakfast.

Use as a glaze for pork, chicken, or ham.

Layer into cakes or swirl into cheesecakes for a fruity surprise.

Blend with a little cream cheese or mascarpone for a delicious frosting or dip.

Assuming preserves are the same as fresh pineapple; they are much sweeter and have a jam-like consistency.

Not refrigerating after opening; this can lead to spoilage.
