Many years ago, I tutored ESL for a group of recent immigrants to our country. For the most part, they spoke Spanish. I used this recipe as a tutorial...with the students learning all the English words for the ingredients involved. We prepared the recipe together...and when the session was over...we ate our lesson! When I prepare this dish...I always remember my Spanish speaking friends of long ago.
- 1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding (4 serving size)
- 1 can (540 ml.) crushed pineapple, juice included
