Pineapple Cake Filling

Description: I got this recipe from my cake decorating instructor. It's very simple, but absolutely delicious. We also like to spoon it over ice cream. This recipe will fill a 9", 10" or 9x13 cake.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, packed in its own juice
• 3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

1. In heavy saucepan combine cornstarch, all of the sugar and salt.
2. Add pineapple with juice and mix well.
3. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a bubbling boil, stirring constantly.
4. Once mixture comes to a boil continue stirring constantly for approximately 5 minutes, or until thickened and its looses it's "milky" look.
5. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring to melt.
6. Let cool then store in refrigerator.
