Pineapple stuffing may have you raising your eyebrows at us at first, but give it a chance! Sometimes, it's the recipes you never thought to try that turn out to be the best. We've had great success using this recipe, and we're sure you will too. Let's take a look.
You can have this for both Thanksgiving and Easter; it goes perfectly with ham at Easter and replaces the cranberry stuffing at Thanksgiving. It's a much tastier alternative to the pineapple rings that never quite stayed put and ended up cooking in the bottom of the roasting pan.
Pineapple stuffing is also easier to make than prepping whole cranberries for stuffing. Serve it as a side but be sure to try some along with a bite of ham or turkey on your fork. Pineapple stuffing is incredibly moist and delicious!
