I've got a tin of crushed pineapples in the fridge so I'm on the hunt for coconut ice-cream to have with them.

I have tinned pineapple and apricots in the cupboard, and late DH used to love a roast ham joint with baked tinned peaches. The pineapple is for sweet and sour chicken or a gammon steak or extra to go on DGD's Hawaian pizza. Also love tinned mandarins.

As a child I thought peaches came sliced up in a tin, in heavy sweet syrup. Was ages before I realised they were proper whole fruit!

I buy tinned grapefruit in juice to have for breakfast - its nice chilled in the fridge- I find cutting up fruit difficult at the best of times.

Me too Tanith - tinned rhubarb for a winter crumble.

The slice of tinned pineapple under toasted cheese is a great idea.

Night before last !
DH and enjoy tin fruit and ice cream for dessert on the odd occasion we have dessert

Oooh, I quite fancy tinned pears now.

I used to love tinned mandarins too but haven't had them for ages.

Oh, and tinned mango makes a good lassi. Much cheaper than the fresh ones.

Maggiemaybe Thu 12-Sept-19 14:55:57

Tinned grapefruit's lovely. No faff and you get a lot for your money.

I quite like the mandarin segments, and think I may have a couple of tins in the cupboard.

I'll have to find them.

I like that paddyann . I put my pineapple underneath the cheese before toasting.

paddyann Thu 12-Sept-19 14:46:07

I buy tinned pianeapple ,my OH likes it on toasted cheese

We eat tinned pineapple often on a Gammon Steak or to make a salsa.

I really cannot remember. Used to love tinned mandarin oranges with custard. They will have to go on the list.....

tanith Thu 12-Sept-19 14:40:48

I love tinned apricots and buy a tin now and then to have with my cereal. I also buy tinned rhubarb in the Winter for crumble or rhubarb and custard. Yummy.

Don't know why we don't - apart from not eating formal teas now - as they still count as one of your 5 a day (as long as they aren't in syrup).

CanuckaLatte Thu 12-Sept-19 14:33:59

I make a mean peach chutney with tinned peaches and toasted black mustard seeds, but straight out o the tin? can't remember how long that's been!

Tinned fruit?
I have just done an online food order and one of the special offers that came up was
tinned pears.
I can't remember the last time I ate tinned fruit of any sort.
It reminds me of Sunday tea with the Aunts, peaches and evaporated milk after tinned salmon and lettuce with salad cream
