Hatch Pineapple Cornbread

Sweet. Spicy. Sweet. Spicy.

I love recipes combine the sweet and spicy flavors from different ingredients. And who doesn’t love a good cornbread recipe…especially one that’s been doctored up with the sweet and spicy flavors!

Here’s a from-scratch cornbread that highlights the sweet from pineapple and the spicy from hatch chilies. Ooooh-la-la-la-la-la!

Taste bud explosion forthcoming!
