That sounds great. I usually hate dried pineapple because it’s covered in sugar and tastes like a sweet piece of plastic.

@Leela – Oh really? It sounds like a Martha Stewart idea :) I’d love a dehydrator too, but fear I won’t use it enough for the amount I’d pay.
@Heidi – They do look like sunflowers! And they would be perfect with nuts – great idea.
@FinsMom – It’s really yummy!
@Forager – Hehe, yes it’s marketing, but the name is really cute.
@Anita – I think they’re pretty too :)

Nope, I’ve never heard of fruit jerky. Looks very pretty!

Clever marketing! I think you can get “dried fruit” in most Asian groceries – I’ve seen mango, prune, and paw paw before. Delicious nonetheless!

It looks like a sunflower! I bet it would be wonderful on salads with some toasted nuts!

An old issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine (from 2003?) features a tiered cake with white frosting decorated with these dehydrated pineapple “flowers.” Very beautiful. I have thought about making some myself, but not until I can save enough money to buy a good, professional mandoline. This could take a while.

Wow, everyone seems to love Pineapple jerky!

@Soma – You’re right. They were lovely just on their own.
@Lorraine – Oh no! Hope you receive yours soon.
@Debzillah – Ooh I’m jealous! I’d love to make my own dried fruit, it’s so much healthier.
@Y – Sorry to disappoint you darling! I have been inspired though…
@Joie de vivre – Me too. There’s so many nasty chemicals and things. It’s refreshing to find products that are really natural.
@Arwen – I thought that too! Looks like a pretty flower.
@FFichiban – Yes, just like dried pineapple, yum! I think there’s only pineapple available at the moment, but mango would be delicious.
@ChocolateSuze – Yep, that sounds like you! :)
@Gera – Me too, I always associated jerky with beef, but now my eyes are opened to the possibilities!
@Simon – LOL, yes it’s dried fruit. That link is hilarious! :)
@Michelle – I loved dried fruit too, that’ s why I was so happy to get some of this for free!
@Olga – What a fantastic idea. With a bit of coconut it would be a wonderful tropical treat.
@Leechbabe – I’m so glad you found my post. Fruit jerky would be much healthier and it sure it chewy!
@Recipe Girl – Jerky is a cooler name! :)
@Hillary – I know, I love the way it looks like a flower too!
@Snooky Doodle – They are very sweet and yummy :)

Didn’t know there was such a thing as pineapple jerky! It looks like a flower!

Interesting! So it’s probably much like regular dried fruit w/ an added sweet element? The fact that they call in ‘jerky’ makes it a little more catchy perhaps. Sounds great though!

Interesting. We got told to give our daughter jerky because she chews so constantly – she has a special chewing tube to wear at PreSchool but chews on her fingers, toys etc. I didn’t really like the idea of beef jerky but a fruit jerky would be a good alternative.

It would probably also be good in a rice pudding!

I love dried fruit! The pineapple jerky looks so good!

Isn't jerky in this context just some marketing-guru-wannabe's way of making dried fruit sound cool? Sounds yummy. Looks like this though.

Very nice review Christie :) for me the word jerky is beef…till today!

Love dried fruits but in particular the combo pineapple and honey sounds yummmmylicious!

Cheers!

OOohhh Jerkkyyy fruit-style! So it tastes very similar to dried pineapple? I like the sound of honey mmmmm and are there any other jerked fruit like mango :)?
