A very nice tart and rum flavored dessert. I tried this fantastic recipe in a restaurant in Waikiki and finally developed my own version. Ingredients:
1 large fresh pineapple |
4 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed and divided |
1/2 cup dark rum (of your choice) |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 cup vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Remove pineapple leaves and discard.
2. Quarter pineapple lengthwise and cut out and discard cores.
3. With a sharp knife, cut fruit from rinds, keeping rinds intact and reserving them.
4. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices.
5. In a medium size saucepan, melt butter; add 5 tablespoons brown sugar, rum, lemon juice and bring to a light boil.
6. Reduce heat and cook over moderate heat for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
7. Add pineapple slices, stir to coat and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
8. Preheat broiler to HIGH.
9. Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil.
10. Place reserved rinds in prepared pan and with a fork and a spoon return pineapple pieces to rinds, arranging to near original shape.
11. Spoon remaining sauce over pineapple.
12. Sprinkle top of pineapple with remaining brown sugar.
13. Broil pineapple about 3 inches from broiler elements until slightly charred and heated through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
14. Serve pineapple hot with icecream if desired.
