Does pineapple make a good pie? Anyone have a recipe for it? Pineapples are bromeliads. They are not considered to be citrus fruits. Citrus fruits make excellent pies - lemon meringue, Shaker lemon, key lime etc. I would not put pineapple pieces in any gelatin based pie fillings. I think that pineapples, like mangoes, have the capacity to denature some proteins. I suspect that pineapple pieces, suspended in a gelatin filling, might turn that filling to soup. I believe that is why pineapple is often used in meat tenderizers and meat marinades. (Ang. is my name and cooking is my game!!!) |

Does pineapple make a good pie? Anyone have a recipe for it? My mother made a lime jello salad that used pineapple rings in the the top with cherries in the center of the rings, the lime jello had cream cheese and almonds mixed in, as long as one used premium pineapple it was great, cheap pineapple made for chewy tough rings, yuck.

Does pineapple make a good pie? Anyone have a recipe for it? I've tried that a few times, but I didn't know it's supposed to sit. The problem I have with that recipe is that the angel food cake mix comes with the cake mix and the dried egg whites in separate envelopes. You're supposed to mix the egg whites with whatever liquid it says (I forget) and whip it up good, then fold it into the cake mix and its liquid. This is what gives the cake its light and airy, "angelic" quality. If you just dump both envelopes together and stir with the pineapple and its juice, the cake comes out flat, dense, and chewy.

Just remember. You have to core it. Make it look like rings. The center is hard. @ Gordon The pineapple core is about a inch round. |

Does pineapple make a good pie? Anyone have a recipe for it? What kind of Angel Food mix do you get? I usually get a Pilsbury or Duncan Hines. Just one envelope to open. |

Okay, I Binged "pineapple pie recipe." This one sounds easy and good, but used a lot of extra fat and sugar. This one sounds a little more reasonable. This one bills itself as a pineapple version of a lemon meringue. Looks really good, but a lot of work to make. This one sounds easy and adds less sugar than the first two and only a tablespoon of butter. This one is intriguing. I wonder if it would work with reduced fat sour cream. I would probably substitute real cream for the Cool Whip. Skipping down the page a few, this one has the pineapple on top of a ricotta and cream cheese base. However, the ingredients list includes an optional tablespoon of rum, but the instructions don't say which part to mix it into. And there are many others. I may even try one or two of them someday.

My mother made a lime jello salad that used pineapple rings in the the top with cherries in the center of the rings, the lime jello had cream cheese and almonds mixed in, as long as one used premium pineapple it was great, cheap pineapple made for chewy tough rings, yuck. Canned pineapple is basically cooked pineapple. I suppose that it is possible that the cooking process destroys the enzyme in pineapple (and mangoes???) that causes the denaturing of proteins in gelatin. Also, it sounds like your mom put the pineapple at the top of the gelatin mold, rather than throughout it, thereby minimizing the contact between the fruit and the gelatin. Where is our resident chemist, Simon? Simon, if you happen to come up for air from all of your studies and you know what the deal is with pineapples and mangoes, please educate us on this food science topic. |

There's the Red Devils food cake: The more common name for the cake you have posted is "Red Velvet Cake". A red velvet cake is minimally chocolate - with recipes for this cake sometimes calling for as few as 2 Tbsps of cocoa powder... which is next to nothing in a batter. That bright red color in your picture typically comes from use of lots of red food dye. Some recipes for a more "natural" red velvet cake might call for the addition of beet juice. A typical "Devil's Food Cake" is not just a chocolate cake. It is a chocolate cake with a mildly reddish hue, due to the use of cocoa powder interacting with buttermilk (and sometimes baking soda) to make that color. Devil's food cakes are not deeply chocolate, although they taste more "chocolatey" than Red Velvet cakes. A regular chocolate cake gets its flavor from melted unsweetened chocolate that is incorporated into the batter. (Sometimes cocoa powder is added as well.) Regular chocolate cakes taste more deeply of chocolate than do devil's food cakes and red velvet cakes. |

Does pineapple make a good pie? Anyone have a recipe for it? I've only used yellow cake mix to make Pineapple Upside Down Cake. You put the pineapple rings, maraschino cherries and "sauce" in the bottom of the cake pan and pour the prepared yellow cake mix over that. And I've never let it sit very long. It's edible as soon as it cools. ~Sue~ |

I've never had Red Velvet Cake and probably never will, due to the huge amount of red dye. It's probably not toxic (!) but I grew up when the red M&Ms supposedly caused cancer. What would the Red Velvet cake taste like without the food coloring? Anyone want to do a science project?! ~Sue~ |
