Sauté it in brown sugar and butter

Ditto above, and a little coconut essence if you have it.

Don't try to put it into jello, as fresh pineapple contains an enzyme that will prevent the gelatin from setting.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Grilled Pineapple Slices, Pineapple Jam, Thai Pineapple Curry, Pineapple Topped Cheesecake.

Thank you! Those are some great ideas!

Freeze it if you have more than you want to consume right away. Then you can put the frozen chunks of pineapple in your blender with some coconut milk and rum and have a very fresh piña colada.

In Mexico, I used to get pineapple empandas on some of the trains, and I liked them very much. I think I had them in Chiapas, or maybe Tabasco. Anyway, it was mostly on the train to/from Palenque. You can make them the same way you would make a fried pie. The ones I had were very plain and did not have any spices (such as cinnamon) added to them. They were a bit tart, and so adding a bit of brown sugar to the pineapple is a good idea. You do have to cook the pineapple before making the empanadas/tarts.

Add chopped or diced fresh pineapple to your favorite carrot cake recipe. Or make pinepple muffins.

My favorite way of using fresh pineapple is to just chunk it up and serve with cottage cheese. I buy whole fresh pineapples often when they go on sale.

I cook rings of it on top of a thick ham steak in the oven - brushed with maple syrup. Also good in chunks, skewered with peppers and onions on teriyaki steak kabobs.

Make pineapple salsa. Great with grilled pork or chicken.

Pineapple chicken curry. I use the yellow curry sauce from Trader Joe's and saute a little ginger, garlic, sliced red pepper, and thin-sliced chicken breast, then pour on the curry sauce and about 1/4 cup of coconut milk. The pineapple is added last and just heated through. But then you have leftover coconut milk, which I use for coconut custard or coconut rice pudding.

Go to youtube and lookup Steven Raichlen. His BBQ University has interesting grilled pineapple recipes.

Make sweet and sour pork. Or Hawaiian pizza.

Caaaaaaaaake!

I add pineapple to a teriyaki stir fry we like that is made with smoked sausage/ kielbasa. Onions, green peppers, water chestnuts, snow peas, etc. Make a sauce with either pineapple juice or chicken or pork broth, sherry (or teriyaki), soy sauce, some brown sugar or molasses, corn starch. I like to add hot pepper flakes, too.

Ditto Sweet n' Sour Pork or chicken and Hawaiian pizza. Hummingbird cake...
