Dole Pineapple Chunks in Heavy Syrup - Dole Canned Fruit - Rich Source of Vitamin C - 20 oz Can - 12 Pack

Excellent product with good flavor. I use these to dehydrate and they came out excellent.

I make carrot cakes for parties and add this canned pineapple plus the juice to make cakes moist and delicious

I use canned pineapple in many recipes. Dole is best!

These are a staple in our house!

Dole pineapple in heavy syrup is the only canned pineapple my family will eat. I am finding it more difficult to find it in the stores so I was happy to find it on Amazon. When I opened the box, I discovered 5 of the 12 cans had dents= 41.6 %. Two were on the top sealed ring which we will eat quickly. The other three are down the sides. The cans were in the cardboard flat encased with heavy plastic. Bubble wrap was placed inside the exterior walls between the cans and the box. The box was not overly deep. The large side dents and a ding on the top lid of another can appear to have been in the cans prior to packaging. We did a taste test and determined that the syrup is not as sweet as the cans I have bought off the store shelf but it is still much better than the pineapple canned in its own juice. Should you get a can --or a whole case :( --of any fruit that is not sweet enough, drain off the juice and put it in a small sauce pan. Warm the juice just until just warm enough to dissolve sugar. Add sugar to the warm juice and stir to dissolve. I use about <1/4 cup sugar per 16 oz. can of pineapple in its own juice. Adjust the amount to your own taste and type of fruit. Cool the juice and add to the fruit. Store in fridge overnight to allow the fruit to absorb the sugar. Adding too warm/hot juice to the fruit will over cook the fruit, soften its texture, and can alter the taste. In the future, if I can find this product on the store shelves, I will buy it that way. If I reach a point where I can't find it in stores, I would reorder it and give it another shot because adding sugar and dissolving it is a pain unless you plan in advance. I had to laugh at the reviewer who said they had to buy a special tool to open the can. That would be a can opener....which is easier for me to open a can with than to open the pull top can lids. I bent a spoon in half that I use to open the pull tops.

Hard to find- so happy to have a full pantry again!!

This was great because our grocery stores don’t carry pineapple in heavy syrup. Many recipes I make need sweeter pineapple.

These are the same great Dole Pineapple slices in heavy syrup that I have always loved. A must for pineapple upside down cake. The local WalMart doesn't carry them anymore...at least not when I have been there. These arrived in perfect condition and the price was good. I will purchase again.
