HOT PINEAPPLE
This recipe is a great one to serve at a brunch. The fruity, sweet taste goes well with the often served hashbrown casseroles or sausage casseroles. Of course, you can serve it anytime! I read about this recipe in one of the "Sweet Potato Queens" books, but haven't been able to find it again, so I made it up to match it as best as I could.
