What is the difference between pineapple chow and pineapple chutney?
While both recipes call for ripe pineapple and have a sweet and tart mix, here’s the difference. Pineapple chow uses larger pineapple pieces while pineapple chutney is made using more small even pieces (otherwise known as diced pineapple). Pineapple chutney is also cooked and contains sugar while pineapple chow is not cooked and has no sugar added.
What to serve with pineapple chutney?
Pineapple chutney pairs nicely with dishes like pork tenderloin. For healthy eating also try pairing this recipe with grilled chicken, fish or seafood.
