Easy to make and a stunning presentation! I used only one cup of sugar but increased the pineapple to one cup as well. Next time I may just use the whole can of pineapple and syrup, and cut the sugar down to half a cup. I added the cardamom pods in step #2 since it didn't specify. This is very sweet...like a dessert, so I can see how kids would love it. I think leftovers make a terrific breakfast. Made for "A Taste of Yellow for Livestrong Day".
