I love to uses 1 can of  Dole Pineapple Chunks because they really taste like fresh pineapple.

Pour in a pan on med heat

Add 1/2 stick butter stir in with the pineapples chunks

Add 1/2 cup sugar stirring in well Taste for your sweetness but remember the pineapple are sweet too when the cobbler cook in the oven.

Mix 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon corn starch together in the same way whole milk looks.

Pour just a little cornstarch water into the pan and stirring until you get a thickness not to much because it will get thick too fast and you don't want to throw it out and start over. If you want a juicy cobbler add less cornstarch water.

Add fresh lemon juice about 2 tablespoon and 2 tablespoon vanilla and blending well..taste for test.

Pour filling in a uncooked pie crust glass

Banana Pudding

I don't know where I got this recipe but thank God for them who make it.It is great!!!

Banana pudding is a very simple, homey, and classic Southern dessert. There are really only two ways to make it -- the right way and the wrong way. There's no futzing with the ingredients or the preparation. Futz, and you have something different.

• The right way: make a simple, homemade pudding on the stove top.
• The wrong way: make instant pudding.

• The right way: keep your pudding vanilla flavored. No squished bananas, no spices, no nothin'.
• The wrong way: make banana flavored, or any other flavored pudding.

• The right way: use ripe, but not overly ripe, sliced bananas
• The wrong way: use green or overly ripe bananas that you've squished, chopped, or cooked.

• The right way: use Nilla Wafers.
• The wrong way: use homemade or any store bought cookie other than a Nilla Wafer.

• The right way: alternately layer the three main components - cookies, bananas, pudding in that order. Repeat if necessary.
• The wrong way: not getting at least one layer of bananas and cookies underneath the pudding.

 Bread Pudding

This Is the Best Bread Pudding Recipe ever.... It is based on a cafe in New Orleans so you know it's got to be good. when I tried it...I deleted the bread pudding I had for years and now this one is in my recipe box. I am giving you four sauces recipes to uses on top


1). Lemon pie filling Or instant vanilla pudding ready made

2)  Pecan-Praline Sauce

2 cups unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
3 pounds light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Heat 1 cup of the butter in a large saucepan until melted. Add the pecans and mix well. Bring to a boil. Cook until the pecans begin to change color. Be careful! This mixture will foam over, so use a large saucepan.

Add the remaining 1 cup butter and mix well. This will cool the pecan mixture and stop the cooking process. Remove from heat.

Combine brown sugar, whipping cream and cinnamon in a saucepan and mix well. Cook over low heat until blended, stirring constantly; increase heat. Cook to 230 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir in pecan mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix well.

3) Bourbon Sauce

1 stick butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup bourbon whiskey

In a saucepan, melt butter; add sugar and egg, whisking to blend well. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Whisk in bourbon to taste. Remove from heat. Whisk before serving. The sauce should be smooth.
