Mark's Notes -
I made this with some leftover pineapples from a fruit tray. I did not have any extra pineapple juice. I completely skipped the pineapple juice part and everyone loved it.
Mark's Story -
Abby recently discovered that she like pineapples. She asked me to find pineapple desserts. I found this in the Betty Crocker app on my iphone. Abby absolutely loved this dessert - even without the added pineapple sauce.
Next month I will probably be adding a Pineapple Upside Down Cake to my blog.
