What a gorgeous platter of food this makes! Line up your ingredients next to the stove, and you will find this comes together fast. Supermarkets often carry fresh pineapple peeled and ready to chop into perfect tidbits for this dish, if you want to dress it up a little. But then again, canned pineapple can be waiting for you in the pantry, for the night you need a little something special for your own sweet self.
