Sunny pineapple recipes

It has been cold, gray and rainy here for the last few days. I was digging in a box of books and found my misplaced Dole pineapple book. It reminded me of several vacations in Hawaii. Even when it rains there is usually on the warm side and there always seems to be a beautiful rainbow afterword. Wish I could go back someday.
Anyway, here are some recipes from the booklet. It is a Favorite Brands book and they are usually good.
