How Do I Substitute Canned Pineapple For Fresh?
If a recipe calls for fresh pineapple and you want to substitute it with canned pineapple, make sure to use canned pineapple in its own natural juice instead of syrup. Drain the pineapple well and pat it dry with paper towels before using it in the recipe. Keep in mind that canned pineapple may be sweeter than fresh pineapple, so you may want to reduce the amount of sugar or sweetener in your recipe accordingly.
