FAKE PINEAPPLE 
1 gal. plus one c. tidbit sized cubes OR finely chopped zucchini squash
1 (46 oz.) can unsweetened pineapple juice
1/2 c. Realemon lemon juice
1 tsp. of oil of pineapple or 2 tsp. pineapple extract
3 c. white sugar

Peel squash first. Then chop or cut into small cubes, depending on preference. Mix all ingredients together. Boil 3 minutes. Pack into pints and process for time required for zucchini. Or can be frozen.

If cubes, it makes 8 pints of "pineapple tidbits". If chopped, it makes 10 to 11 pints of "crushed pineapple".

It really does look and taste like crushed pineapple, the tidbits are a little less realistic.
