Ingredients

  • 2 - 8 ounce can Pineapple Tidbits drained reserving juices (I used the Dole brand)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar packed (I used light brown)
  • ¾ cup Reserved Pineapple Juice or thereabouts
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 pounds Sliced Carrot Chips cooked until tender

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Next, add the brown sugar glaze mixture to the skillet with the melted butter. Whisk to combine the reduce the heat to low.
  • Cook, stirring or whisking occasionally, until thickened, which should take 8 to 10 minutes. Once the glaze mixture is thick, add the tender cooked carrots and pineapple tidbits to the skillet. Use a spatula to stir and coat everything with the glaze. Continue to cook another minute or two until heated through.
  • Transfer the glazed carrots with pineapple to a serving bowl and serve. This side dish is great with baked ham.
