Pineapple lends a fruity tang to this fun and tasty appetizer. Instead of one large cheese ball, you could make two smaller ones...one to serve before a meal and one to take to a party. —Anne Halfhill, Sunbury, Ohio

2 teaspoons of salt is way too much for this recipe. I had to add 1 more 8 oz cream cheese and some more pineapple to accomodate the salt. Anyone else think so? I will make it again but will cut way back on the salt.

I have discovered a great way to drain crushed pineapple! I take 2 or 3 Mr. Coffee-type coffee filters and put in a bowl. Dump the pineapple into the filter. Gather up the edges of the filter and lift. let the juice drain, and then you can gently squeeze the pineapple in the filter until it has barely any moistness. The pineapple then comes out of the filter easily without clinging to it. Voile!

This is delicious! It is smooth with just the right amount of sweet. Definetly make sure the pineapple is totally drained and you may need to adjust the amount of onions depending on your preferences

My mom made this for years, and I was glad to come across this - had forgotten how yummy it was! Made for office party - it was the first thing gone with lots of requests for recipe. Made at a grad party - same thing - lots of requests. I use red bell pepper (sweeter) and drain pineapple in a sieve and press with spoon.

This is one of my favorite recipe but you need to drained the pineapple until it is almost dry.
