Different cheeses are going to give you a diverse type of taste. Cream cheese basically provides a very smooth, creamy base whereas cheddar or mozzarella might give you a robust flavour.

Prepare your ingredients, and now it's time to prepare your pineapple and cherries. If you are using fresh pineapple, cut it into thick slices or chunks.

The freshness of this fruit would add a natural sweetness plus juiciness to the entire dish, making it one of a kind. If you have canned pineapple, make sure it is well-drained from excess moisture to avoid messing up the appearance.

Prepare cherries: When using fresh cherries, wash the fruits and if you have delicate hands, remove the stems. You may leave the pits in for an old charm in your dish, or you can pit them if you want to make it easier to eat. If you are using canned cherries, drain off excess syrup and blot dry.

All your ingredients are prepped; it is time to assemble your dish. Begin by taking one of the cheese cubes and placing it on the serving platter.

Take a pineapple slice and place it next to it. It already looks dramatic with the yellow of the pineapple contrasting with the white of the cheese, but the sweet and juicy taste of the pineapple goes pretty well with the creaminess of the cheese.

To achieve an essence of class, you can layer the cheese and pineapple. All you need is to stack a cheese cube atop a slice of pineapple, then place a cherry on top.

This only adds height to your presentation but makes for a nice easy-to-eat, bite-sized treat. Repeat this procedure until all of your cheese cubes, pineapple slices, and cherries are used up.

Add some final touches: For a dash of added flavour perhaps drizzled over the put-together cheese cherry pineapple bites is some light honey or maple syrup for a little sweetness that really captures the essence by forming a great glaze to make the dish even more welcoming. Sprinkling crushed nuts, almonds, or walnuts, adds a great crunch between the softness of the cheese and the fruit.
