Trivia

• Pineapple which is one of the ingredients for this recipe is a tropical fruit originally from South America and named due to its resemblance to pine cones. Explorer Christopher Columbus discovered the pineapple in Guadeloupe in 1493 and called it piña de Indes which means “pine of the Indians.”
• Pineapple is not a single fruit but rather the pineapple consists of multiple fruit formed from conjoined berries.
