Looking for something sweet and fruity? Pineapple Fudge is a fun, tropical twist on the classic fudge. With just three simple ingredients—pineapple, sugar, and butter—this fudge is packed with the vibrant, tangy flavor of fresh pineapple, making it a unique and irresistible treat for any occasion.
How to Make Pineapple Fudge
Start by shredding a ripe pineapple to get 1 cup of juicy shredded pineapple. Combine the shredded pineapple with 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan, then slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar and avoid sticking. Keep boiling the mixture until it reaches the soft-ball stage, which you can test by dropping a little into cold water—it should form a soft ball.
Once the mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine. Beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and heavy, showing that it’s ready to set. Pour it into a greased pan, spreading it out evenly, and let it cool. Once set, cut into squares, and you’ve got yourself a batch of creamy, tropical pineapple fudge!
