pineapple

🥗Healthier: mango

💰Cheaper: canned pineapple

Canned pineapple is more accessible and budget-friendly.

Add 1/2 gallon of organic whole milk to a pot.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the milk and mix it in.

Let the milk sit to spoil, allowing it to curdle.

Turn on the heat to low and add a cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves to the pot.

Add brown sugar to taste and mix it in.

Cook on low heat for about an hour, avoiding stirring too much to keep large clumps.

Check occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick, lifting the pot to move it gently.

After an hour, the mixture should have thickened and turned a nice color.

Turn off the heat and let it cool before plating.
