PINEAPPLE FILLING FOR CAKES



Pineapple Filling for Cakes image

I got this recipe from my Great Aunt Julia. It tastes great and is so easy to make. The coconut is optional and since we don't like coconut, I leave it out. Be sure to sift the flour or corn starch, and stir after each addition so it doesn't get lumpy. I use a small hand strainer, hold it over the pot, shake a little at a time, and stir after each shake. It takes a little longer but works out better. I also use Splenda, actually the Walmart brand because it's cheaper, instead of the sugar, because my husband is diabetic.

Time 20m

Yield 3 layers

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple (In its own Juice)
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flour (your choice, I use corn starch) or 2 tablespoons cornstarch (your choice, I use corn starch)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • Open cans of crushed pineapple, take the lids and press down hard to remove as much juice as possible.
  • Put pineapple in saucepan, add stick of butter, sugar, (I use a sugar alternative), egg yolks, and stir together until the butter melts.
  • Sift the cornstarch(or flour) over the saucepan - slowly.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over low heat, stirring continously, to prevent burning,.
  • Then add the coconut.
  • You can use a small can or as much as you think your family will like. Aunt Julia didn't specify how much coconut to use, she just said to add the coconut. Go figure, I don't think she ever measured anything.
  • It takes about 20 to 25 minutes depending on how long it takes to thicken, for instance electric stoves take longer than gas stoves.
