Pineapple for the Holidays
Did you know that pineapples are a showing of hospitality? It’s true! Back in history, pineapples were so rare that they would be used as centerpieces of parties. Though not to be eaten, but simply admired. They became a sign of hospitality and sparing no expense for those you care about.
In the 19th century, the pineapple became a holiday centerpiece. A seasonal display like the ones we decorate with today, featuring items like apples, pinecones, holly, and fir leaves surrounded the star pineapple in the center of the display. At this time the pineapple was more readily available, allowing it to also be used in baked goods, candied, or to add sweetness to the punch.
These traditions carry on today. They may not be the first thing comes to mind, but pineapples make for great decorations and are an excellent ingredient in holiday recipes. In fact, check them out for $1.99 in our ad this week, as your holiday preparation kicks into high gear.
Check out some of our favorite pineapple recipes this year:
Hawaiian Ham: This Hawaiian Ham is a good meal for any holiday celebration.
Slow Cooker Chicken, Sweet Potato & Pineapple Tacos: Super tasty and full of flavor!
Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sliders: These sliders are great for celebrating.

Assorted Halloween Cupcakes
by Jodie Fitz
1 vanilla boxed cake mix
1 tablespoon green decorating sugar
Orange food coloring
Yellow food coloring
Cupcake liners
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix cake batter as directed on the box. Divide batter into thirds.
Fill four lined muffin tin cups with the plain vanilla batter until almost full.
Stir 1 tablespoon of green decorating sugar into 1/3 of the batter and stir until it turns green. Fill four of the lined muffin tin cups.
Divide the remaining 1/3 of the batter into thirds again. Add yellow food coloring to one portion, orange food coloring to another portion, and stir. Fill the remaining four lined muffin cups with a layer of yellow batter, followed by a layer of orange batter, and finally the remaining vanilla batter, to create a candy corn affect.
Bake 20-25 minutes and let cool completely
Ghost Cupcakes
4 vanilla cupcakes
3.3 oz white chocolate pudding
1 cup milk
4 oz. PICS frozen whipped topping, thawed
8 PICS mini chocolate chips
Stir the pudding and milk together until it thickens. Fold in whipped topping. Put aside enough to frost the top of the four vanilla cupcakes. Place the rest of the mixture into a snap and seal lunch sized bag and clip the corner to create a piping tool.
Use an apple corer (or ??) to create a hollowed center in the cupcakes. Pipe the whipped topping into the center, then frost the cupcakes with the topping put aside. Pipe more whipped topping on top of the cupcakes, like a vanilla ice cream cone, to create ghosts. Add two mini chocolate chips as eyes.
Spider Cupcakes
4 green cupcakes
Green frosting
12 pieces black licorice twists
8 Large candy eyes
Using a star tipped tool, pipe the green frosting in dollops onto cupcakes, creating a bumpy texture.
Add two large candy eyes to each cupcake.
Cut each black licorice twist in half and then carefully score in the middle with a sharp knife so that the twist can be bent to create legs. Push legs into each cupcake.
Candy Corn Critters
4 vanilla cupcakes
4 tablespoons PICS butter, room temperature
2 ½ cups PICS confectioner’s sugar
1 ½ teaspoons PICS vanilla extract
3 tablespoons PICS milk
8 large candy eyes
Candy corn
Using an electric mixer, whip butter, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract and milk in a bowl.
Frost cupcakes, add two large candy eyes, and place candy corns on top, creating a spiked affect.
More on Making These Cupcakes
Swap the Oil: Use 4 oz. of PICS unsweetened applesauce.
Eliminate the Eggs: Swap out the eggs with ¼ cup of PICS plain Greek yogurt.
Gluten and Dairy Free Options: Price Chopper and Market 32 have a variety of alternative cake mix options located in either the baking or allergen friendly aisles.
