This is delicious!!!! I thought I had pineapple chunks, but when I went to make it, found that it was crushed pineapple, so I subbed pineapple juice, and didn't have the pineapple to add to the skewers. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. I think this would also be a great marinade for chicken kebobs, which I plan to try soon!! Thanks for the great recipes for PAC.

I love to socialize. Saturday night is usually an impromptu dinner with friends and games. Recently, I went wine tasting and loved it. I was never much for wine, I always prefered a cocktail. I am enjoying teaching my palate to distinguish flavors and it has helped with my cooking.
My knife skills are the worst. I need a class from Emeril. Thank GOD for the chopper!!
