Sweet & Savory Proscuitto Wrapped Pineapple Spears. Because they’re delicious, and because they’re a nice change from prosciutto wrapped melon slices. I hope you’re feeling me on this!
When I know I’m going to indulge in a decadent weekend brunch with all of my favorite foods; I like to start the meal off with a bit of pineapple. I’ve heard that pineapple helps melt away belly fat, but don’t quote me on that, because it’s not really true!
However, since I like to *THINK* it may be true I’ve convinced myself that it’s a great way to kick off #BrunchWeek and that maybe all those other calories to follow won’t actually count. Ha! Ha!
Yes. I’m delusional!
However, once you try these Prosciutto Wrapped Pineapple Spears you’ll be a believer, too (in how flavorful they are, not that your belly fat is melting.) (Not that you have any belly fat, of course)! 😉
This is my first ever time participating in #BrunchWeek, and I’m I ever excited! Breakfast foods, and most especially brunch items, have always been a favorite of mine. Maybe because brunch, as a culture, seems so celebratory. The celebration of eating good food on a lazy weekend. What could be better than that?
In any case, I’m thrilled to be a part of it this year and am excited about all the recipes I’ll be sharing this week, along with all the recipes the other #BrunchWeek family of food bloggers will be sharing this week as well.
Take your time to linger over these Sweet & Savory Prosciutto Wrapped Pineapple Spears. There is no rush. It is brunch, after all. 😉

Yum! I would love to have these pineapple spears on my brunch table.
I know you’ll love them, Tara. They’re SO easy to whip together!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this idea! Like a spring brunch Christmas ham dinner, almost. Salty, sweet, and acidic, just the way I love it. Yum Renee!!!
I’m a sucker for a sweet and salty bite, too! Keeps me coming back for more. Thanks, Erica!
I love melon wrapped in proscuitto so I’m sure I’d love this with pineapple!
You totally would, Ellen!
This seems like a great food to have when i’m entertaining. They are healthy bite sized and look quite tasty. I Think my friends will really enjoy them. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you! I know your friends will love them. I think they’d go great with a cocktail or glass of champagne.
I’d have to eat a whole grove of pineapple to melt off my belly fat LOL….I’ll start slowly with one of these delicious spears.
LOL. You’re funny, Wendy!
This twist on the classic is right up my alley. I don’t like cantaloupe, but I love pineapple!
