      I just found this recipe on Pinterest and I think it sounds delicious! Do you think it would be good with canned pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple?

        Hi Kate - I'm sure that would be fine. I used the crushed pineapple so it would mix with the BBQ sauce, but the flavor of the pineapple and pineapple juice are really what we're after 🙂

        Hi Hailey - The Original Baby Ray's sauce is our family favorite but I would suggest any sauce that is not too sweet since the pineapple is already a sweet element 🙂

        Still do make them with grape jelly! Or use Italian meatballs, grape jelly and chili sauce!

      I found this recipe last night, went to the store today to get everything to make for my daughter's baby shower on Saturday and when I got home I realized I bought Smokies and not Little Smokies 😑 I have two packs of Johnsonville Hickory Andouille Sausage ... do you think that might work (cut up of course) or do I need to go back to the store after work tomorrow? ( I live in a rural area and the closest grocery store is 40 minutes away)

      Would sweet and sour sauce work instead of barbecue sauce?
