Pineapple Stuffed Onions  

Peel the onions and remove a small slice off the root end. Slice about 1cm from the top of each onion. Place in dish with sufficient boiling salted water to cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or until onions are tender. Drain and cool slightly. Remove the centre sections of the onions, leaving sufficient flesh for them to retain their shape.

Fill the onions with heated crushed pineapple and place in a buttered oven proof dish, in a moderate oven for 10-15 minutes.
