Drain the pineapple slices from their juice before using them in recipes. They can be added directly to cakes, tarts, or fruit salads. For grilling, pat them dry and grill until lightly caramelized. They can also be incorporated into glazes for ham or pork. The reserved juice can be used in smoothies, cocktails, or as a base for dressings.
How it differs from similar foods
