This recipe looked so interesting when I saw it in the Coastal Living Cookbook I purchased some time ago. There are so many recipes I have marked in it to make and decided to make this recipe. After all, I love pineapple, and love Pepperidge Farm White Chocolate Macadamia cookies.
I did add tapioca and sugar to the pineapple mixture from the original recipe, as I thought the pineapples were a little too sour and juices were a little too runny. If you use canned pineapple you may not need as much sugar. The best thing to do is taste the pineapple mixture before it cooks, and you should be able to judge the sweetness.

May 16, 2012 at 6:27 amI have never made a crisp with pineapple, but I am sure it tastes amazing. I do agree that this type of fruit is a little bit more difficult than a more solid fruit like an apple, but you thought of a great remedy for that. Good to know. I miss Florida so I am sure that book or magazine would be great to have. Enjoy the day!
