Pineapple Filling
Get a ripe pineapple; pare and slice; then shred with a silver fork; cover thickly with sugar, and set away for three or four hours; then set on range in an agate kettle to heat thoroughly; butter short-cake liberally, and apply filling between layers and on top; serve with whipped cream. Canned pineapple may be used, though the fresh fruit is best.
