Bright, versatile pineapple brings a shot of sunshine to winter eating. So we asked the
BA Test Kitchen to come up with three inventive ways to enjoy our favorite tropical fruit:
"Pineapple is great for marinades; it lends amazing sweet-and-sour flavor and contains enzymes that help tenderize the meat." --Alison Roman, Assistant Food Editor
"I love to give tangy, sweet pineapple the Mexican-corn treatment by sprinkling it with salty Cotija cheese and dusting it with cayenne pepper." --Chris Morocco, Associate Food Editor
"Spirits are delicious when infused with fresh fruit. Vodka is like a blank canvas--it will take on the flavor of whatever you add to it." --Mary-Frances Heck, Test Kitchen Director
