Most of the stuff is transported from farms in the south and is all rotten by the time it gets in the market. The last pineapple I bought only yielded about a cup of crushed pineapple for a recipe I was making. <br /><br />We had a small container garden for a while. We are building a house and plan on having a very large garden, so we will get to try some of those sun ripened ones soon hopefully!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338784611800458980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1784275362472349381.post-65541189850163649642011-03-25T00:41:12.771-06:002011-03-25T00:41:12.771-06:00Did you say can of pineapple?!?

I have grown some in our yard and if you let them ripen before you cut them they are MUCH better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660631152478326452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1784275362472349381.post-88467555342027313512011-03-22T12:01:41.735-06:002011-03-22T12:01:41.735-06:00I was surprised the first time I tasted coconut wa...I was surprised the first time I tasted coconut water. I guess I was expecting something more milky. It is very thin. Do you guess come across a bunch of coconuts in Guate?Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338784611800458980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1784275362472349381.post-84011411732473422792011-03-21T17:22:02.323-06:002011-03-21T17:22:02.323-06:00Yum!

It's not a very strong flavor to begin with, is it?<br />Those are really cute piggy banks!Adinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217541835894984934noreply@blogger.com
