ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in upper third. Using a chef's knife, slice off top and bottom ends of pineapple. Following the fruit's natural shape and working from top to bottom, slice off skin in strips; cut away any "eyes." Quarter lengthwise; remove tough core. Cut each quarter into 4 pieces lengthwise.
• Place butter in an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish, and melt in oven, 6 minutes.
• Arrange pineapple in the dish. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, honey, pie spice, and rum.
• Spoon sugar mixture over pineapple. Bake until tender and bubbly, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with sorbet, if desired.

RUM PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the cherries and the spiced rum. In another bowl add the pineapple and the 3/4 cup of rum. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add 1 3/4 sticks butter and the sugar and cream together until pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla extract and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
• In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, over medium heat, add the remaining 1/4 stick butter and heat until the butter has just melted. Add the brown sugar and using a slotted spoon, add the pineapple pieces, reserving the rum. Saute until they begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Add the cherries and the rum they soaked in. Remove the skillet from the heat and light the rum with a long kitchen match. When the flames subside, return the pan to the heat and cook until most of the alcohol has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool 6 to 10 minutes before adding the batter. Remove half the fruit back into the reserved rum for garnishing later.
• Add the batter to the skillet and put in the oven. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes before unmolding. To unmold, run a small knife around the edge of the cake, take a large serving plate and put it over the cast iron skillet. Carefully flip over and let sit for a couple of minutes until it releases from the skillet.
• Put the creme fraiche in a small bowl and stir in the zests. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and the reserved fruit.

BAKED RUM PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE:.
• Combine the molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and rum to form a paste. Chill. Remove from refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before using.
• 2 hours before your party:.
• Cut the pineapples, including the leafy tops, into quarters. Cut out the core and cut pineapple off of the skin and into bite size pieces. Return it to the shell.
• Place the pineapples onto foil lined baking sheets and cover the leafy tops with foil. Brush the pineapple pieces with the rum mixture. Cover with plastic until ready to bake.
• To bake:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the pineapple until glazed and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Arrange on a platter with toothpicks, and serve warm. Bake one pineapple at a time, because this is always eaten up quickly, and you will want to have more to serve later in the party.

RUM-GLAZED PINEAPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Put the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the pineapple preserves on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and rum in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set.

ROAST WHOLE PINEAPPLE WITH BLACK PEPPER & RUM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the sugar, chilli and 1 tsp cracked pepper in a large roasting tin. Roll the pineapple in the sugar, leave it laying in the excess and dot the top with the pieces of butter. Don't worry if they fall into the tin - they will all be used when basting.
• Roast the pineapple for 30 mins, basting every 10 mins with the buttery juices, until sticky and golden. Remove the dish from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
• While the pineapple is cooling, make the rum cream by whipping the coconut cream to soft peaks, then fold in the rum. Just before serving, baste the pineapple again, then bring to the table whole in the roasting tin, sprinkled with some extra chilli flakes. Carve into wedges or slices, and serve with any extra sauce from the tin and a large dollop of the cream.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN RUM CAKE

• In large bowl, beat cake mix, reserved 1 cup pineapple juice, the oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple slices.
• Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Run knife around edges of baking dish to loosen cake. Cool 5 minutes.
• Place heatproof serving plate upside down on baking dish; turn plate and dish over. Remove dish. Brush or drizzle rum over cake. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows, so each serving has a slice of pineapple on top. Serve warm.

CREAMY COCONUT AND RUM BAKED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a higher temperature).
• Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into bite-size chunks and lay flat in one layer on a baking tray (I use pyrex).
• Scatter the brown sugar/brown sugar Splenda evenly over the top.
• In a glass, mix the coconut milk with the rum. Pour over the pineapple and put in the oven.
• Cook for 30-35 minutes uncovered, turning and stirring every 10 minutes.
• Serve the pineapple chunks warm with the sauce drizzled over the top. Whipped cream would also be a good addition!

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM

Steps:

• Preheat broiler and line a shallow baking pan with foil.
• Trim pineapple leaves to about 2 inches. Quarter pineapple lengthwise, reserving 2 quarters for another use. Cut and discard cores from remaining quarters. With a sharp knife cut fruit from rinds, keeping rinds intact and reserving them. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• In a small saucepan cook butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and rum over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add pineapple, stirring to coat, and cook mixture 1 minute.
• Put reserved rinds in baking pan and with a fork and spoon return pineapple pieces to rinds, arranging in original shape. Spoon remaining butter mixture over pineapple and sprinkle tops with remaining tablespoon brown sugar. Broil pineapple about 3 inches from heat until slightly charred and heated through, about 8 minutes.
• Serve caramelized pineapple with ice cream.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE WITH RUM

• Melt brown sugar, butter, and honey for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
• Pour butter mixture into the bottoms of two ungreased 8-inch round cake pans. Drain pineapple slices and reserve 1/4 cup juice for the cake. Layer pineapple slices on top of the butter mixture.
• Combine buttermilk, rum, and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in another small bowl.
• Beat white and brown sugars with butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then all of the buttermilk mixture, and finally the remaining flour mixture until well combined. Divide cake batter evenly between the two pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven place on wire racks until completely cooled, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn one cake out onto a serving plate, then carefully turn second cake directly on top of the first.

FRESH PINEAPPLE RUM

Steps:

• Place pineapple in a large glass container. Pour in rum, covering pineapple completely.
• Store container on a cool, dark shelf, stirring and tasting once a day, until rum reaches desired flavor, at least 1 week but preferably 2.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a pot, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the hot water slowly, whisking constantly. Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Turn off the heat once the sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings; stir to incorporate.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple with a large sharp knife. Stand the pineapple up on the counter and slice off the rind from top to bottom; then cut it into thirds lengthwise. Cut the wedges in half the short way so you have six thick chunks; remove the cores. Put the pineapple wedges on a nonstick cookie sheet and ladle them with half of the rum sauce. Bake for 30 minutes; then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve a hunk of pineapple covered with remaining rum sauce, toasted coconut, and 2 scoops of ice cream.
