Pineapple In Ginger Rum Syrup Recipes

PINEAPPLE-GINGER INFUSED RUM

Steps:

• In a 2-quart glass jar with a lid, combine pineapple, ginger, and rum. Refrigerate 1 to 2 weeks, gently shaking jar each day, until rum is flavored to taste. Strain rum through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight glass container and refrigerate, up to 2 months.

PINEAPPLE IN LIME, VANILLA AND RUM SYRUP

Steps:

• Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before broiling or grilling the pineapple.
• Gently heat the sugar and water together in a saucepan, until the sugar dissolves. Halve the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from the pod, and add them to the pan. Add the rest of the bean pod, and the lime zest, as well. Simmer the ingredients gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced and syrupy. Add the rum to the mixture, if using.
• Preheat the broiler on high or preheat a grill to medium-high, and lightly oil the grate.
• Meanwhile, remove the top and tail of the pineapple. Carve away the skin and scoop out the spiny eyes. Cut the pineapple crosswise into eighths, and discard the inner core from each piece. Slide the pineapple slices onto the presoaked wooden skewers.
• Broil the skewered pineapple pieces for 8 to 10 minutes on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil or grill the skewers 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon the hot spiced syrup over the skewers, and serve with ice cream, if desired.

PINEAPPLE IN GINGER RUM SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring water, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a wide 6-quart heavy pot, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, uncovered, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let syrup steep, covered, 10 minutes.
• Remove ginger with a slotted spoon and discard. Add pineapple to syrup and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until pineapple is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer pineapple with slotted spoon to a heatproof bowl, then boil syrup, uncovered, until reduced to 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Add rum to syrup and gently boil 1 minute, then pour over pineapple. Cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
• Pineapple in syrup can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

PINEAPPLE GINGER MOJITO

Steps:

• To make the pineapple-rum: Peel, core and slice pineapple and pack into a glass container with a cover. Add rum to completely cover pineapple. Seal container and store in a cool place for four to five days. Taste rum occasionally to check progress. When rum has reached the desired flavor, strain it through a sieve, bottle, and refrigerate for up to two weeks. Yields one liter.
• To make ginger syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and ginger to a boil. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain through a sieve, bottle, and refrigerate for up to one month. Yields approximately 3 cups.
• To make mojito: In a 14-oz glass, muddle spearmint, lime juice, and ginger syrup, to release the spearmint oils without tearing the leaves. Fill the glass with crushed ice, and add pineapple-infused rum. Stir the drink to incorporate the flavors and coat the ice. Add more crushed ice, stir again, top with soda water, and stir once. Garnish with a sprig of mint and spear of pineapple.
