Kelli Davidson won second place in our Holiday Baking Recipe Contest with this Pineapple Dressing recipe. She says:
This recipe became a part of our family’s traditions in the very early 60s right after Hawaii became a state and there was a national pineapple craze in America. My grandmother said that my mother became obsessed with all things pineapple and asked for some kind of pineapple addition to the holiday table. My grandmother found this recipe in their small town newspaper and it has remained almost unchanged in all the years since. I think the original used regular white bread instead of the brioche we use today.
