To use, simply drain the syrup from the can. The pineapple slices can be enjoyed chilled as a refreshing snack or dessert. They are excellent added to fruit salads, layered in parfaits, or used as a topping for yogurt and ice cream.

The syrup itself can also be utilized in recipes for added sweetness.
