With winter chill settling in across much of the Midwest, I thought this might be a good time to offer an Amish recipe with a bit of a tropical splash. Â There are some fruits and foods that don't have historical roots in Amish culinary culture but they've been adopted and adapted by creative Plain cooks. Â Dates are one fruit that come to mind (date pudding is something that has become a favorite among the Amish) and pineapple is another. This pineapple bread recipe comes to me from an Amish cook in Ohio. Â Try this recipe to chase away the winter blahs. Doesn't it look tasty?
PINEAPPLEÂ BREAD
- 3 /4 cup brown sugar

- 2 eggs

- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- Stir all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl (do not drain the pineapple) Pour into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Sounds good, I might add some pecans.

Oh Karen, I agree. That sounds delicious!

This sounds (and looks) so good. I'm going to try it with some fresh pineapple I have left over.

I wish these were printable recipes! There are too many ads on the page. Why not add a print button?

Hi, Sandra, apologies.....the newer recipes generally are "printable", the other ones - like this pineapple bread one from 2013 - are not...I'm trying to change old ones to printable...a "work around" is just to copy and paste the recipe into a word doc and print it out...You'll avoid all the ads that way
