Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
Two 15-ounce cans pineapple chunks or slices
1/4 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or blueberries
Vanilla soy yogurt, optional

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the margarine in a medium skillet until melted, then stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon.

    Step 2

    Drain the pineapple well (save the juice for a different use) and add to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the pineapple is nicely glazed and golden, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Step 3

    Stir in the dried fruit of your choice and remove from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Allow to cool for several minutes, then serve warm. Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt, if desired.
