Tips on How to Make Cheese Pineapple Sandwich Spread
- I like to use American processed cheese as it has a creamy and mellow taste that goes well with the sweet pineapples. If you prefer a sharper flavor, substitute cheddar.
- The mixture will be a little loose at first; give it a few minutes in the refrigerator to chill and firm up.
- Want to make it smoky and meaty? Stir in some chopped ham!

April 3, 2015 at 7:26 amI used to eat this same sandwich when I was in 5th grade. I am now 53 so that was many moons ago indeed! Thank you for the memories – I could almost see my late Mom spreading this sweet delight and it truly makes me smile.

This cheese pineapple sandwich spread brings many delicious memories for me as well. We always had these sandwiches (along with Pimiento cheese) wrapped in colored napkins. I remember my Aunts will make spread the “palaman” so thin you can barely see it. haha
Thank you for your comment. I am glad to have brought you fond memories of your Mom. 🙂
