My husband, who is usually skeptical about trying recipes couldn’t resist being drawn into the kitchen by that scent.
Let’s not forget my one, whose eyes sparkled with delight at the sight .
It was a hit! Our family quickly fell in love, cherishing every bite as it brought back memories of sun-soaked island holidays on the days.

To properly store your pineapple-pecan pie and maintain its freshness, you can keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days if you plan to enjoy it quickly.
Simply cover it loosely with foil or plastic wrap and store it in a cool, dry place.
For longer storage, it’s best to refrigerate the pie in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, which will keep it fresh for up to 4-5 days.
If you’d like to store it for an even longer period, freezing is an excellent option.
Wrap the pie securely in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
It will last up to 2 months in the freezer.
When ready to serve, thaw the pie in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in the oven to restore its original texture and flavor.
