Fresh pineapple bread pudding is on our Easter menu every year. It’s savory and sweet flavors compliment a honey baked ham ~ our family’s favorite! Nothing beats the tropical flavor of fresh pineapple. The baked side dish has both crispy crunchy and soft bread cubes for a nice contrast of textures.

I also love to enjoy a warm bowl of pineapple bread pudding for breakfast or as a late night treat. A dollop of fresh whipped cream is a delicious topper to the dish too.

how to pick a fresh pineapple

I love cooking and baking with fresh fruits. Fresh Strawberry Crumb Cake, Apple Crumb Bars, Summery Blueberry Cobbler, Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Berry Bacon Sauce, and Thyme Rubbed Pork Chops with Apple Shallot Sauce are just a few recipes that I make over and over again.

Each recipe starts with picking the best fresh fruits. Here are some tips for picking the freshest pineapple for either baking or enjoying in a fruit salad.

  • Check the color ~ Ripe pineapples can have an exterior that is all green or a greenish yellow. The leaves should be a healthy vibrant green.
  • Give it a sniff ~ A perfectly ripe pineapple will smell sweet and tropical. If it has no smell, it is underripe. If it smells acidic, it is most likely overripe.
  • Give it a squeeze ~ When ripe, a pineapple will still be firm, but will have a slight give when squeezed. Make sure it does not have any mushy spots or mold. Those are signs of a past its prime pineapple.
  • Put it on a scale ~ The best tasting pineapples are heavy for their size.

No one factor is best for choosing a delicious fresh pineapple. Take into account its color, smell, firmness, and weight when picking out the optimal fruit.

  • Bake ~ Pour the pineapple mixture into an ovenproof dish. Bake until set and golden brown.

cooking tips for making pineapple bread pudding

  • Mix the ingredients well ~ Make sure the wet ingredients along with the light brown sugar, nutmeg and kosher salt are well mixed. After adding the pineapple and bread cubes and apple juice, be sure to completely moisten the ingredients.
  • Grab a can of pineapple ~ If fresh pineapple is not available, substitute a 20 ounce can of drained pineapple chunks.
  • Pick a rustic loaf of bread ~ The best bread for the recipe is a rustic one like ciabatta or baguette. You want a sturdy bread that will hold its shape even after adding the liquid ingredients.
