Delicious Pineapple Kisses Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Grease a rimmed cookie sheet with unsalted butter. Reserve.
- Combine the pineapple and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens sufficiently to pull away from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- When partially cooled, spread the pineapple mixture in the cookie sheet, and let cool completely.
- When the pineapple is completely cool, using buttered hands, form the mixture into 20 small round balls. Fill a small mixing bowl with granulated sugar, and roll each ball in the sugar to completely cover. Place the completed balls back on the greased cookie sheet and let stand for several hours.
- Serve in small paper cups, decorated with a sprig of mint if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use instead of sugar in this recipe?
You can substitute sugar with honey or agave syrup, but note that this may alter the texture and sweetness level of the final product. You can also use a sugar substitute like Stevia or Erythritol, keeping in mind the conversion ratio as specified on the product packaging.
How should I store the pineapple kisses after making them?
After forming the pineapple kisses and allowing them to set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Ensure they are placed in a single layer to prevent sticking.
What should I do if the pineapple mixture doesn’t thicken properly?
If the mixture doesn’t thicken, continue to cook it over medium heat while stirring frequently. If it's still too runny after 10-15 minutes, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little water to the mixture and cook for a few more minutes until it thickens.
