When I was in Pittsburgh, we bought some dried pineapple at Trader Joe's, and it was very, very good! Thus when I saw the same at my local health food store, I snapped it up. Did I say it was the same? Not. Even thought the label did not mention added sugar, this pineapple must have been sweetened, as is the dried pineapple I can buy at the grocery store. Yuck. I couldn't eat it, so I cooked it with some dried apricots to make a fruit topping for my breafast muesli.
Not to be defeated, however, I set about making my own dried pineapple out of canned pieces (rings work best) heated in a low-temperature oven. Voila! Wonderful! Delicious! The only trouble is that a can of pineapple shrinks to something so small—and so tasty—one could easily devour an entire batch in one sitting. (One didn't, but it was a close thing.)
