Glazed Ham and Pineapple Skewers

A while ago I was challenged to come up with some canned/packaged goods recipes.

A big reason why struggling families might rely on canned and packaged foods is that donations need to have a reasonable shelf life. To be honest, I didn't expect this challenge to be as difficult as it is and I certainly have a new respect for those who, for whatever reason, rely on long life products as their main food source.

It is difficult for someone (like me), who has a preference towards fresh food and the means to acquire it easily, to imagine a scenario where this would not be possible but sometimes life seems more like an outhouse than a box of chocolates and it’s comforting to know that there are services available to help provide food to your family should the need ever arise.
