Pineapple Filled Doughnut

This recipe was sent to me by Delmonte Kitchenomics few weeks ago, but the original recipe used fruit cocktail instead of pineapple. I didn’t able to buy fruit cocktail that’s why I only used pineapple. It was very yummy but I swear I will never do it again since I found it very difficult for me to roll the dough especially with fillings, I cannot seal it perfectly! :(

1 tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in pineapple syrup
