I made this a few days ago and it is so delicious! I found it in a Coastal Living magazine.

Stir together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Add the butter mixture to the flour mix. Stir until well blended. Gently pour over the pineapple in the skillet.
