Why You’ll Love Our Pineapple Stuffing Recipe

So we really enjoy our stuffing recipes with sausage. That’s just the way we like it and have always had it. But in doing a little research on stuffing recipes, we would constantly came across Pineapple Stuffing.

Pineapple Stuffing is made with crushed pineapple, bread, eggs and sugar. We made it a couple of times following traditional recipes and then we started over.

We started with cooked down onions and celery for flavor, in lots of butter of course. Then added a custard-like filling with vanilla and cinnamon flavors to make this stuffing taste rich and sweet, and not at all bland. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, so it goes wonderfully with all kinds of main courses.

How To Make Pineapple Stuffing

A brief description of how to make our pineapple stuffing here for you to get the idea. For complete, detailed instructions, head to the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Toast brioche bread and then tear it into cubes. Meanwhile, cook down onions and celery in butter until soft, then let cool.
• Beat the eggs with the half and half, pineapple, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and parsley in a large bowl. Stir in almonds and the onions and celery.
• Add the toasted bread cubes to the bowl and toss gently until all the bread is combined with the egg mixture.
• Transfer to baking dish, bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes.

Can You Make Stuffing Ahead Of Time?

Yes! Stuffing recipes are a wonderful make ahead side dish recipe. This is a great time saver if you’re cooking for a large party or a holiday. We recommend making the stuffing up until the point of baking and then storing it in the refrigerator.

Take the stuffing out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off. Then bake according to the instructions in the recipe card and you’ll have a delicious, sweet and savory side dish in no time.

What Main Courses Go Well With Pineapple Stuffing?

Serve it with your holiday ham or turkey or roast, or with your favorite Sunday dinner. I’m telling you, our kids used to love this stuffing so much, they would eat it as their main course, with a couple of bites of ham on the side. Here are some of our favorite main courses to serve with this stuffing:

• Peach Glazed Ham
• Bourbon Glazed Ham
• Garlic Herb Roast Beef
• Beef Wellington
• Whole Roast Turkey
• Simple Roast Chicken
• Pork Tenderloin with Apples

Can I Use Fresh Pineapple?

You can use fresh pineapple if you prefer. Just make sure that the pineapple is very ripe, otherwise it will be too firm in the finished stuffing. The other thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need to cut up the pineapple into a small dice, to mimic the texture of canned pineapple.

One of the best parts about this recipe is the custard-like, smooth texture with a bit of crunch from the almonds. So very ripe pineapple cut into a small dice will work just fine.
