Drain the pineapple slices from their juice, reserving the liquid if desired for other uses. The slices can be added directly to recipes. They are excellent in baked goods like upside-down cakes or pineapple bread, where they caramelize beautifully. For savory dishes, incorporate them into stir-fries or grilled skewers to provide a sweet contrast to spicy or salty flavors. They can also be blended into smoothies or used as a topping for pancakes and waffles.
