This is a simple salsa with a bright acidity, one that you could temper with some diced mango if you like. I’ve called for a single jalapeño. You could use two if you like. Just keep all the flavors in balance – sweet, salty, sour and fiery. It’s terrific on pork and with grilled fish, on tacos or as an accompaniment to breakfast eggs.

will canned pineapple work?

OMG! This tasted amazing. The only thing I would change in reduce chile powder to 1/2 tsp. I love spicy food but I added 1 tsp chile and it was very spicy. The Jalapeno is enough to give the punch whenever you take a bite.

Used canned pineapple and Tajin (instead of the chili powder, salt and ground coriander) and it was delicious.

I used canned pineapple and added some grated ginger and grated garlic and let it marinate overnight. I served it over grilled Tuna steaks and it was delicious. It would only be better with fresh pineapple - next time.

Great way to use a rather blah flavored pineapple. Cut back on the jalapeño cause I’m a wimp, but otherwise followed this recipe. A keeper!

I wish the recipe specified an amount of diced pineapple. I find myself wondering, "Is this a medium pineapple? or is it a large pineapple?" as I process it.
