The item was very fresh and worth every penny. I use it on cottage cheese

Dole pineapple in heavy syrup is the only canned pineapple my family will eat. I am finding it more difficult to find it in the stores so I was happy to find it on Amazon. When I opened the box, I discovered 5 of the 12 cans had dents= 41.6 %. Two were on the top sealed ring which we will eat quickly. The other three are down the sides. The cans were in the cardboard flat encased with heavy plastic. Bubble wrap was placed inside the exterior walls between the cans and the box. The box was not overly deep. The large side dents and a ding on the top lid of another can appear to have been in the cans prior to packaging. We did a taste test and determined that the syrup is not as sweet as the cans I have bought off the store shelf but it is still much better than the pineapple canned in its own juice. Should you get a can --or a whole case :( --of any fruit that is not sweet enough, drain off the juice and put it in a small sauce pan. Warm the juice just until just warm enough to dissolve sugar. Add sugar to the warm juice and stir to dissolve. I use about

If you like to snack on pineapple but don't want a big can of them then this is perfect for you. If you just need a few slices if pineapple for a recipe this will work as well. I like buying in bulk and have 5 kids so this was right in my alley.

The pineapple is very good. What I found was not what I thought I ordered. I thought that I had ordered CHUNCKS. What I got was rings. I will have to look much closer next time.

I make a lot of pineapple upside down cake, and I only buy Dole. It's just the best, and a name you can trust. It's also good on cottage cheese, and the juice is irresistible!
