Last week, I was in Costco and happened to see Robert Rothschild Farm Roasted Pineapple Habanero Sauce. I bought a jug and really like it. The ingredients are:
Sugar, Pineapples, Lemon Juice, Cider Vinegar, Onions, Yellow Bell Peppers, Red Bell Peppers, Habanero Peppers, Mangos, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavor.
I think this is what could be called a chutney, but I am not sure. It is really delicious and nicely warm. I have been trying it on many things and just tried some on canned white albacore tuna. I squeeze the water out of the tuna, then add some white wine, poke it around a bit then drain that so the flavor is vastly improved. I poured a bit of this sauce on the tuna, added a bit of salt and it was great. It is great on sourdough white bread spread with hummus and in salsa. I guess it most closely reminds me of hot pepper jelly, which I used to make, but with a pineapple flavor.
Speaking of pineapples, about 3.5 years ago, I brought home a pineapple top from a fruit platter. I kept a very dilute fertilizer solution in the cup and then planted it. It rooted and grew to a great big plant. Fortunately, it is the smooth leaf variety. It is now blooming to produce a pineapple under fluorescent lights in my jungle room. The flower is sorta pink. If any of you in the deep south know what a giant Crinum is, I have one 7 feet tall and it is blooming now, too, with beautiful fragrant white blossoms. All of this, along with palms and bananas, is lovely to have around me as I look out at the first snow of the season on the ground.
