A serving of this nicely seasoned pineapple is delicious alongside lamb chops or ham. It's an easy no-fuss side dish that adds a little something extra to make a meal stand out.—Chris Nash, Berthoud, Colorado
2 cans (one 20 ounces, one 8 ounces) pineapple chunks
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
6 to 8 whole cloves
Dash salt
Directions
Drain pineapple, reserving 1 cup juice. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, salt and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Discard cinnamon and cloves. Add pineapple. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with a slotted spoon.

Oh My Goodness these are delicious. They are similar to Spiced Peaches or Pears that I made and loved before. They are a wonderful side to Roast Pork, Pork Chops or Ham. I made them a few times and changed things up the second & third time around. Once, I just added 1 t. allspice and a few drops of red food coloring. Another time I added to the simmering liquid, a hand full of those tiny little cinnamon red hot candies. Also, I don't add the pineapple to the pan. I just boil & simmer the liquids as directed and then just pour over the pineapple. I serve these COLD.
