My Mom made these one year & everyone loved them. All you need is canned pineapple chunks (in own juice) & some creme de menthe.
Drain the pineapple chunks in a colander for a while to get as much juice drained as possible. Save the juice for other use (add to orange juice) or drink it. Pour a shallow layer (1/4″ to 1/3″) of creme de menthe onto your serving plate. Place each pineapple chunk in the creme de menthe with the widest part down. Cover the plate & put in the refrigerator for at least an hour. You can add more creme de menthe if they use it all up.
Bring out when you are ready to serve. You can serve them with a pool of creme de menthe around them for effect if you like.
Push toothpicks into each chunk if you want to or else let people use their fingers. They will need a small plate to put them on to eat maybe. You can often buy small glass cocktail plates at the dollar store for cheap & they work well for this.
You can make your own creme de menthe if you want to. See recipe posted just below this post or search this blog for “creme de menthe.”
This has to be the easiest adult party treat ever. They look so pretty too as the green color draws up into the pineapple chunks the longer they set in the liquid. They taste really good too. Enjoy!
Remember these contain vodka & are not for kids.
