Sweet Pineapple Bar glazed with honey, this is the recipe I am going to share with you today. Usually, the store bought halwas (sweets) are made with artificial extracts or essence. They are delicious for sure. But I like to have the sweets made with real fruits which gives it that fruit flavour bounty.
Last week, while on grocery shopping, we got pineapples for some cheap price from Aldi. So we decided to make the pineapple bars with the REAL fruit itself…. And glazed the bar with some wild honey, topped with cashews.
They were really delicious, liberally flavored melt-in-mouth bars. The recipe for the Sweet Pineapple Bar glazed with honey is below.
