What Can I Make With Crushed Pineapple?
I accidentally grabbed a can of crushed pineapple instead of pineapple chunks. I like to use the chunks on pizza or in fruit salad, but the crushed pineapple just doesn’t work with either one of those. Now that I’m stuck with a large can of the stuff, I’m wondering what I can make with it.
I thought about possibly throwing it into a smoothie. Has anyone tried that? Mixed with some coconut milk and yogurt it might make for a nice tropical treat. Any other ideas, suggestions or recipes that include crushed pineapple?
I look forward to reading your ideas in the comments below.

you could make a pineapple salsa just by combining onion, cilantro, sweet red bell pepper, lime juice and a dash of salt.

Pineapple Upside down cake, or I think there are quite a few salads out there that call for crushed pineapple too.

Add the crushed pineapple to your pancake mix, and reduce the water or milk you use. The pancakes will be sweet and moist, but you can’t really taste the pineapple! Everyone will be raving about how good they are and asking how you made them.

You can use the crushed pineapple for filling desserts and cakes. Most german cakes are made using crushed pineapple filling only…

You can use the pineapple in a sauce over grilled chicken. Try mixing it with some red chili flakes and chili powder. The heat should from the red chili-flakes will contrast the sweetness really nicely.
