Pineapple Au Gratin

Last week was our Herb Club's Christmas luncheon at the home of one of our members.  She moved all the furniture out of her living room so that she could set up enough small tables to seat the 30 ladies who attended!  Everything looked (and tasted!) lovely.  Besides eating, we also exchanged gifts and heard a short presentation by one of the founding members about Christmas legends involving rosemary and thyme.  A fun & festive afternoon -

My contribution to the feast was Pineapple Au Gratin, a recipe from my mother that she's made over the years for various functions.  Delicious and different.

Pineapple Au Gratin

2 - 20 oz. cans of pineapple chunks, drained
2 tabl. sugar
1/4 C. flour
1 C. grated cheddar chesse
1/8 C. melted butter
1  C. crushed Ritz crackers

Combine first four ingredients and place in a casserole dish.  Mix melted butter and cracker crumbs; sprinkle over pineapple mixture.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Julie, my husband raved about the pineapple au gratin! I made only half recipe and used crushed well-drained because that is what I had. We loved it! I had seen this in "mid-century" recipe books numerous times but never ventured a go at it. So glad I did. I was also trying a recipe from the newest Gooseberry Patch Christmas book -- the "impossible pie" method of a quiche. Have seen those recipes for years also and finally tried it. With orange pecan sweet potatoes and garden green beans with onion and mushrooms on the side, we had a feast! And we both have good hot lunches today as well 8~D You know I love menu ideas and this one all went so well together... thanks for the pineapple idea!

Oh, my, Lori - your feast makes my mouth water! Thanks for sharing, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the dish. I'm making it again on Monday for another Christmas luncheon.
