Do you have a mini muffin/cupcake pan? If so, check online for mini pineapple upside down cupcakes. Sorry, no recipe but just sounds good to me.

Appectizer? Riblets?

I'm going for sweet. Since I have the sausage roll, I think that the next thing should be sweet. Brie and cranberry is sort of in-betweenish

I agree chloebud, mini versions. Yes I have many cupcake pans, I also have ordinary cupcake size. I don't want to do marachino cherry, but I would love to do the brown sugar and pineapple with the yellow cake.

Maybe I'm not that far off 😉

Oh! You don't need the cherries to make pineapple upside down, and it's an obvious choice for your ingredients. A pecan half would be nice, especially toasted and spiced first. But you could do a chocolate iceberg (Kiss, pointy side toward the bottom of the pan, or eating pastille in the cup first. Or anything else that sounds good (some people don't even like chocolate with pineapple). You could just omit the center, but a bite of flavor lends a focus. Or, if you're using small bits of pineapple instead of rings, you can use a big pineapple chunk as a focus.

I haven't made this recipe yet, but it reads well: https://eatmovemake.com/pineapple-cookies/

Or you could go somewhere between savory and sweet and make little choux puffs filled with pineapple, cream cheese or drained cottage cheese, lightly spiced and candied chopped nuts or pepitas, and crunchy bacon or some other crunchy salty thing.

Or, to use up sugar, you could make truffles, with or without pineapple centers.

One sausage roll? I'm curious! LOL

Me too. And dipping a sausage roll? That is definitely not traditional English. Sounds like gilding the lily. 😉

It would be easy enough to make mini cup cakes using any basic cake recipe with pineapple bits and brown sugar in the bottom of the cup. Cherries only work if you have pineapple rings and rings would be too big for small bite sized cakes. So no loss not having cherries. (I'd use glacé cherries rather than maraschino.)

“A pecan half would be nice…”

Perfect instead of a cherry.👍🏻

I make the Pineapple Upside Down cake in BHG cookbook. It makes one 9 inch cake pan, which is 12 cupcakes. You can use the rings or crushed.

^Right, definitely cut or chopped pineapple for mini cupcakes.

If you don't want dessert, but another appetizer, I remember pineapple cheese balls from days of yore...

I'm sorry. I can't help it. I see the cherries and always think of nursing puppies, or in this case just straight up bra fillers. :D

I have xopied that recipe! we love sausage rolls and I think this would amp up the presentation!

The wreath looks great!

Yep. Get the single sausage roll idea now.
