Foodie Friday: Scalloped Pineapple Sauce for Ham




Welcome to Foodie Friday, dear reader. For many, this is a holiday weekend with religious significance. Whatever you celebrate, rejoice, enjoy, and remember the reason for the holiday. As my bean gets older, holidays take on a new meaning. I will always make an Easter basket for my one-and-done. I will forever hide an Easter basket for my one-and-done. In some ways, as she grows, holidays become more fun. Don’t get me wrong, part of me longs for the days when she was a chubby, sticky-faced toddler who thought I hung the moon. However, my teenage bean is funny, fun, and alight with mischief. Now that she is older, I can really challenge Jordan with the most difficult hiding places for her Easter basket. I have to up my game every year, but that is part of the fun.


The Smays do a traditional Easter meal complete with ham, deviled eggs, scalloped potatoes, and usually a gob cake for dessert. My family is not a huge ham fan, but I continue to stick with tradition regardless of their preferences. Scalloped pineapple sauce is one side dish I always make when we have ham. Nobody likes it but me. However, it reminds me of better times and holidays spent with my family.


Today I will share with you my sister’s recipe for scalloped pineapple sauce. It is sweet, warm, spicy, and oh, so delicious. I can eat it by itself as a sweet treat, but it is particularly good with salty ham. I hope your holiday is spent with people you love and food that makes you happy. Enjoy!
