While preparing for last Friday's Ham dinner, I offered to prepare a "Pineapple Sauce" to go with it.
When I went in they had all I asked for, like Pineapple juice and other stuff that I thought I might need.
Instead of milk for the 'roux' I used pineapple juice. At the end I used a can of pineapple pieces to flesh it out and a little bit of brown sugar. All turned into a bloody tasty pineapple sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
50 gm PLAIN flour
25 gm Spread (Doesnt have to be butter)
200 ml Pineapple juice
1 Dessert Spoon brown sugar
small can pineapple pieces OR crushed one.

Prepare the flour and spread in a pot and make sure they are both amalgamated properly. (DO NOT burn this part)
Pour in first 100ml of Pineapple juice, stir with a wooden spoon.
then pour in rest of juice. (Add more if too thick)
Keep stirring while on the heat, adding the can of pieces AND juice, add also the spoon of brown sugar.
Keep stirring till the flour taste has dissipated and serve.
(This picture is of it at the end of service, a bit gone-burger)

WITHDRAWAL OF WHANGAREI SERVICE:

A few people may have noticed that we have withdrawn from operating in Whangarei area, with a few exceptions.
Costs and overheads mainly from the WDC have made our presence too expensive.
Such things as our Health Plan requirements; inspections by council for this; what seems an expensive "Permission" to operate and maintain a sewage distribution system; all this adds up, I feel sorry for other operators.
We have operated with the Tikipunga Soccer Club since 2006 and have enjoyed our relationships with them but they also are enduring alterations which would have affected our kitchen operation.
We now generally operate out of Wellsford. If you are an old customer of ours we would love to come back up if you require us, with it not costing you for mileage.
Thanks to all our customers over the years. If you want us, we can come!

SATAY CHICKEN on Coconut Rice. We ran out last time for this popular comfort dish.

As usual, dinner start at 6. Yes orders are usually ALL taken at the same time, so please if you have a time problem, please advise us.
Salmon has to be baked in the oven so can take some time to deliver. It is a hard dish to judge but we do our best.

REMEMBER all our workers in the kitchen are volunteers.

Friends of Denby Caterers would recognize we have been quiet on here lately. What with all the chaos of prices going up we have been trying to adjust.
We are still operating though.
And getting good feedback.
Just this week we operated in a Wellsford Lions club with a "Thank you volunteers" night.

Last night we operated at a "Roof shout" for a large construction site nearing completion. Feedback received was varied.
"Thank you Wellsford Lions & Wellsford RSA
and of course Chef Mark Carrell for the lovely meal for volunteers dinner.
Nice night, nice people, nice community soldiers ❤️"
And
"Thankyou again to you and Christine and your team, absolutely beautiful food and very well done. "
As it was a newish building it had NO kitchen but once again my team pulled off our top level menu on time. Thanks girls.
