    Amish Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

    Published: Oct 21, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    Pineapple is not a fruit that has much culinary history with the Amish so you don't find this fruit in many recipes. However, as grocery stores have become more and more common destinations for the Amish over the past couple of generations pineapple has gotten noticed.  I'd say the majority of pineapple consumed in Amish homes is the canned kind, because it is more versatile in its use and not as perishable.  This is a pineapple upside down cake recipe that comes from an Amish woman in Kansas who probably got it from a non-Amish friend someplace because, again, this isn't something that has much culinary history.  This is a piece of pineapple upside-down cake that my mother-in-law made. Yum!  Try the recipe below for your own Amish version, which, if there is any "Amishness" to the recipe would be the corn syrup. That is a widely consumed ingredient in Amish kitchens.
