1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces pineapple chunks, drained well
1 cup raisins

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease 2, 9x5 loaf pans. Set Aside.
In a medium bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix lightly by hand and set aside.
On a cutting board run a chefs knife through the pineapple chunks a few times to cut into smaller pieces. Maybe quartered at most. Pat Dry. Set aside.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all the ingredients and equipment you'll need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially ripe bananas and juicy pineapples, will give your bread the best flavor and texture.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Line Your Loaf Pan: Lining the loaf pan with parchment paper or greasing and flouring it will prevent the bread from sticking.
Bake at the Right Temperature: The ideal oven temperature for baking pumpkin pineapple bread is 350°F (175°C). Baking at a higher temperature can cause the bread to overcook and become dry.
Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, bake for a few more minutes.
Let the Bread Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent the bread from breaking.

Pumpkin pineapple bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack.
