This dessert recipe comes to us from Terrie Todd of Portage la Prairie. It’s Terrie’s own recipe who notes that it’s a lovely dessert that doesn’t require fresh fruit, uses ingredients kept on hand and produces generous servings.

1 14-oz. can pineapple
tidbits, drained
(reserve juice)
1/3 c. oil
1 tbsp. rum or
almond extract
