This Valentine’s Day, you’ll want your special someone to know how much you care for them, and cooking a delicious meal is the perfect way to convey your feelings. If you’re hoping to make your sweetheart happy, you can’t go wrong with a pineapple recipe. Get inspired by these tasty suggestions.

3 Pineapple Recipes to Make Your Valentine’s Day Even Sweeter

1. Pineapple Fondue

To prepare your date for a night out on the town, start with chocolate fondue in your dining room. Whether you use a fountain or a melting pot, the smooth chocolate pairs perfectly with fresh pineapple. Instead of offering chunks or wedges, use a cookie cutter to create bite-sized hearts for your Valentine.

2. Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kebabs

pineappleThis satisfying entree will leave char marks on the yellow fruit, complementing its tangy, bright flavor with robust smokiness. Let the chicken sit in a marinade of pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and ginger; then skewer it with pineapple chunks and throw it on the grill. For a complete Valentine’s Day dinner, pair this dish with a bottle of their favorite chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.

3. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Serve this dessert to finish the meal. Line a cake pan with delicate pineapple rings and pour yellow cake batter on top, which will serve as the base once you pop it out of the oven and pan. If you’re planning to propose, carefully place an engagement ring in the center of the cake once it cools.

 

If you want to make a special meal with pineapple that’s sweet and not too acidic, turn to Dole/Tropical Fruits Distributors of Hawaii in Honolulu.
