Big name in pineapples (4)
I believe the answer is:
dole
'big name in pineapples' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dole that I've seen before include "State assistance" , "Kansas senator and 1996 presidential candidate, Bob" , "Informal word for unemployment assistance" , "Unemployment benefit (sl.)" , "Money received from the state while unemployed" .)
