Pineapple Stuffing
Pineapple Stuffing is a classic baked side dish made with pineapple, butter, sugar, eggs, and bread cubes. Sweet, rich, and slightly tangy, it’s the perfect companion to ham or turkey and a standout addition to any holiday feast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 5 cups cubed white bread (day-old or slightly dry)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
- Mix Pineapple: Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and salt.
- Add Bread Cubes: Gently fold in the bread cubes until evenly coated with the mixture.
- Bake: Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side dish or sweet casserole.
Notes
- Slightly stale bread works best — it absorbs the mixture without becoming mushy.
- For a lighter version, reduce butter to ¾ cup and sugar to ¾ cup.
- Use pineapple tidbits for more texture.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavour.
- Serve with baked ham, roast pork, or as a brunch casserole.
