My gran used to make it all the time. It was really simple. But do you think I can remember it? ! ! No. . and I thought I'd never forget.
I know it uses a tin of pineapple pieces ... and the juice I think. Was warm and thickened maybe with cornflour... sort of like custard but not. I must have thrown out the recipe during one of my moves :( Any ideas appreciated

Or is it the pineapple pudding with custard, then meringue on top?

I just glanced at something on Food TV tonight, I improvised it and we had it for pudding. Yumm. Drain 1 tin pineapple pieces well, melt large knob of butter in saucepan, once bubbling, add pineapple, sizzle a few minutes, add a tbsp of honey, simmer till slightly caramelised. and EAT, we had icecream with it.

A favourite with the family is semolina pineapple pudding, cooking up some semolina, then adding a tin of drained pineapple pieces and lemon juice to taste.

Maybe this one? 1 tin pineapple, 2oz flour, 2 eggs separated, 2oz butter, 1 1/2C milk, 1/2C sugar. Put most of milk in a pot with the butter. Beat yolks with sugar & add. heat till it bubbles around the edge then thicken with the flour which is mixed with the rest of the milk. Take off heat, add pineapple juice & beat. Pour over pineapple in a dish. When cool, top with meringue made with whites & 2oz sugar. brown in oven.

HAWAIANSHORTCAKE
Cream 4oz butter with 6oz sugar. Add1 egg. Vanilla. Add 8oz flour-more if needed to make it workable, 1 and ½ teasp BP. , Filling: 1 tin crushed pineapple-strain off juice which is then brought to boil and thickened with1 good dessp of cornflour. Add ½ cup sugar, pineapple and 4-5 bananas mashed with 1 teasp of lemon juice. Spread on ½ shortcake mixture and put rest of shortcake on top. Sprinkle with coconut and bake. My Mother made this on an oven tray-it makes a lot. We loved it and no need to use so many bananas if you don’t have them.

Thank you for the replies! Perhaps it was just the gooey bit... I know there was no baking or bases/toppings.
And google is a nightmare! I did that once and found nothing like it. Thought someone in nz might have done the same pudding. Just cant remember if there were eggs (it wasnt exactly a custard as it didnt taste like 'custard' . . it just looked like it)
Will have to try some of the suggestions above :)
