Aloha mai kākou,
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the sweet and tasty pineapple and its relation to Hawai`i. As an avid cook, I noticed if the recipe was Hawaiian then pineapple was one of the ingredients. The pineapple was brought to Hawai`I by the Spanish. The Hawaiians called the pineapple “hala kahiki” (pronounced hah-lah kah-hee-kee) since it resembles the Hawaiian hala tree. James Dole began his pineapple plantation back in 1900 and opened his cannery in 1901. The islands produced the most pineapple in the world, but have since found other countries who could produce pineapple cheaper. Therefore, the plantations were closed.
If you love salsa and would like to try something tropical and different, try the following recipe…..Its yummy!
Pineapple Salsa
1 - 20 oz. can of pineapple (I use either Dole or Del Monte brand, but any brand should work)
1 - 16 oz. bottle of salsa verde (or can, whatever is available)
2 cloves of minced garlic
½ chopped onion
Small bunch of cilantro finely chopped (according to your taste)

I normally put all the ingredients into my food processor, give it a few whirls and voila…. Enjoy!
A hui hou,
Haunani
