Del Monte Pineapple Slices, in Unsweetened Pineapple Juice

Our Delia Smith may make it so easy on TV but it’s just too much for me to tackle a fresh pineapple! By the time I finished the task of peeling it (about 15 minutes!), there’s not much fruit left! Why should I bother while I can get a tin of Del Monte pineapple at around 80p from my local Tesco? All I need is a can opener. The Del Monte Sliced Pineapple in Own Juice (432g) has got exactly what it says on the tin. It contains only two ingredients: pineapple and pineapple juice, nothing more, nothing less. The texture of the pineapple slices is of course softer than fresh pineapple but the ... more

Of all the delicious tropical fruits that are to be found in processed form on our supermarket shelves today my big favourite is,and has long been,canned pineapple.

Where has the man from Del Monte gone? Probably retired now. Del Monte has to be the most well known brand for tinned fruits and they are consistent in their quality. The green tins have not changed much over the years. I prefer buying fruits in their natural juices as it is ofcourse healthier and I can sometimes find the alternative syrup too sweet. I do like the Del Monte brand and it is so easy to find as most food stores stock it. A can costs around 50p and can stay in the cupboard for ages. A can of tinned pineapple is very versatile and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. I ... more

I decided to make some pasta with pineapple and salad. Tesco have stopped producing my favourite "own brand" tinned pineapple in their "basics" range so I decided to try Del Monte. It was 39p for a tin of pineapple rings. There were 4 rings in the tin, I discovered when I eventually got the tin open. The tin had a ring pull and it was too tight to open. I tried all ways and the ring pull eventually snapped. I had to use a tin opener but that only opened half of the tin lid and then there were thin strips of metal hanging off it. I pulled and pulled and tried to use the tin opener again and ... more
