Today’s recipe is an old family delicacy, conceived of by my dear Aunt Maggie. It took me years and years to try it because, quite frankly, I don’t like pineapples. At all. I still don’t, in fact…except in this recipe.
Now, let me be honest. This recipe is NOT healthy, NOT vegan, NOT organic. To be fair, growing up in the 70’s in Indiana, we didn’t know what vegan and organic even were. I’m just sayin’…
What this dish IS is DELICIOUS (Silver Lining)! More like outstanding. Amazing. I’m a big fan of special treats on holidays. And this is a Very. Special. Treat.
From my home to yours, enjoy!

"Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." Ahhh, yes, I have lived by this old adage……and just look where it has gotten me!!!! 😉

Tee! Hee!
What is the difference between escalloped and scalloped? Is it regional? I have never known. Sounds yummy.
Hi Anne,
Great question.
A "Scallop" is a sea creature. You know the shell on the "Shell Gasoline" signs – that is a Scallop shell. Scallops (i.e. the part inside that we cook and eat) are round, white, and don't have a heavy taste.
"Escallop" is an adjective describing some other bit of food. Essentially it has been baked until a (somewhat) hard crust forms on top.
I think we have all become used to saying "scalloped" when we really mean "escalloped".
Enjoy!
