I debated trying to streamline this recipe by using pre-made pineapple and orange juice, but I thought I should try the original at least once, and I am glad I did. No one flavor was overpowering. And surprisingly given how much sugar was used, it wasn’t too sweet. The beautiful rose-purple color sealed the deal that this recipe will be made again.
