Notes
Use fresh pineapples whenever available.
1 can crushed pineapple used with a drained weight of 149 grams and net weight of 227 grams.
If the light syrup from the canned pineapple is not preferred, use granulated sugar and water instead. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and water, one at a time, and until the desired taste and consistency is achieved.
Use fresh carrots without molds and bruises.
The addition of carrots added another layer of flavor, natural sweetness, and color.
