FRESH PINEAPPLE PIE
We're all familiar with fresh strawberry pies cloaked in a glace topping. In this pie, it's fresh pineapple tidbits that are cloaked in a luscious glaze. In other words this pie is a kissing cousin to the strawberry glace pie. The recipe was printed in the Jacksonville, Florida, newspaper by food editor Joel Crea who said that this was one of the best-received recipes the newspaper has printed. Included is a wonderful nut crust which you can use in a number of other pie recipes which call for an ordinary graham cracker crust. I haven't tried this yet, but wanted to share it for those of you who would like something different for your summer menus.

FRESH PINEAPPLE RICOTTA PIE
A creamy pineapple pie in an almond cookie crust. Cook time does not include freezer time. I used drained, canned pineapple packed in light syrup rather than fresh. Can't wait to try it again as written. Recipe credit - Family Circle July 12, 2005 issue. I classified this as both Italian & Hawaiian since it seems to cross cultural lines. How about Haw-talian? ;-)

Tips:

- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the pineapple by hand. Just be sure to grate it finely so that it incorporates well into the pie filling.
- If you want a sweeter pie, you can add more sugar to the filling. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a more complex flavor.
- If you want a taller pie, you can use a deep-dish pie crust. You can also make a lattice top crust for a more decorative pie.
- Be sure to let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
