I love pineapple but we don't get fresh ones very often because none of us can be bothered with peeling and chopping them, it's mega hard work for something that should be straightforward like fruit! lol My dad gets annoyed because pineapples are so dear but we buy them and end up chucking them away when it goes off because of the effort involved in getting it right! That's why I started buying tins of Del Monte sliced pineapple, it comes in juice not syrup so it's just as healthy and yummy as eating fresh pineapple. In the small tin pictured above you get about 4 thick slices of pineapple and for tinned fruit it tastes amazingly like eating fresh ...  Read the complete review

I've been pretty much on my own this week - eldest daughter now lives in Sheffield, younger daughter away camping & hubby (self-employed) working long hours due to staff holidays - so I decided to have something a bit 'different' last night. I fancied something sweet but not too unhealthy & decided to plump for a tin of Del Monte Sliced Pineapple which comes in a 432g can & cost me £1.29. This may seem fairly pricey compared to some of the cheaper brands but have you seen the price of fresh pineapple these days?? There's always been something a bit special about canned fruit - I was born in the 50s when there was still rationing - & ...  Read the complete review

While preparing the cheese and pineapple on sticks for my granddaughters birthday party I suddenly realised I'd forgotten the main component, the pineapple. Silly me, I had to drive to the closest shop which was about 5 miles away (it was a Sunday afternoon) and hope to goodness that they had some tins of pineapple as although my daughter had a fresh one sitting in the fruit bowl somehow fresh pineapple isn't the same with cheese. The shop had lots of cheap looking no-name tins of fruit, including pineapple, but the quality of the labels looked suspect so I eventually paid the disgusting £1.59 they wanted for a medium sized tin of Del Monte Pineapple Rings. ...  Read the complete review

Pineapple is one of a very small amount of fruit I like, so when I go shopping it's something I normally buy whether it is a fresh pineapple or canned like these. I would have to say that nothing beats fresh pineapple, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the patience to remove the skin and chop up and when I do decide not to be lazy I often end up with loads of pineapple that goes to waste because I'm not going to eat a whole one myself and other people in my house don't like it much. So, I often buy the small tins of pineapple slices in their own juice so I can keep them in my cupboard for whenever I fancy them. *The packaging* These Del Monte sliced ...  Read the complete review

A little favourite pleasure of mine is pineapple rings with vanilla ice cream, a bit strange really when you consider that if you gave me a fresh pineapple I would never eat it. The pineapple rings that come in Syrup however are excellent and until recently I had been using Sainsbury`s own brand but then one day when Sainsbury had none I had to fork out the extra for a tin of Del Monte and sorry Sainsbury but I will never look back. The 432g tin of Del Monte pineapple rings set me back the princely sum of £1.29 as opposed to the 98p that I usually pay for the same size tin of Sainsbury own brand but they were worth every extra penny in my opinion. ...  Read the complete review
