Ingredients for Pineapple Stuffing

Bread: Cubed bread soaks up the pineapple mixture, giving the stuffing a soft but slightly chewy texture. White bread works best, but sourdough adds a tangy flavor.
Pineapple And Sugar: Crushed pineapple and sugar bring natural sweetness and moisture.
Eggs And Butter: These bind everything together and add rich flavor. Use real butter for the best taste.
