Fresh Pineapple Preserves
the midas touch or how my mother turned scrap into gold
Pineapple cupcakes are in my to-bake list. Since we always have fresh pineappple in the house—my father is a devotee—I planned on making fresh pineapple preserves for the filling and frosting. But I never got around to making the cupcakes nor the preserves as procrastination took over. This noon, I was surprised to find a golden, syrupy, sticky, chunky mixture in a pan. Could it be … ? Well, my mother just beat me to making those preserves! And boy do they taste awesome!
It turned out that my mother salvaged some pineapple chunks gone sour and turned them to (edible) gold. Now, if you will excuse me, I will just go and ask her how to do it!
