Pineapple Refrigerator Loaf

OK, so this isn't really a loaf. I almost changed it to "dessert," but this is the name I used through my whole childhood when I nagged my mother to make it. To avoid reproachful reviews, please note that this is not spicy, nippy or zippy. If that's what you like, feel free to proceed to the next recipe.
