Ingredients

8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
10 oz. can pineapple, crushed or tidbits, drained , packed in 100% pineapple juice, not heavy syrup
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

Drain the pineapple; bring cream cheese to room temperature
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients; cover and chill for 10 minutes
Serve with chips, crackers, bagels, pancakes or muffins

Notes

Due to the lack of preservatives and additives, this homemade version does not have a long shelf life like the original version, so keep it refrigerated for up to 5-7 days.

I used Dole brand pineapple tidbits packed in "100% pineapple juice with no sugar added." I have not tried this recipe with pineapple packed in heavy syrup.
