Pineapple In Lime Vanilla And Rum Syrup Recipes

PINEAPPLE WITH LIME & VANILLA SYRUP

Steps:

• Gently heat the caster sugar, vanilla paste, lime juice and 50ml water in a pan until the sugar dissolves.
• Arrange the pineapple over a plate or platter. Drizzle over the syrup and set aside until ready to serve so the syrup can soak into the pineapple. Eat with vanilla or coconut ice cream, if you like.

VANILLA LIME PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp, and add the pod and the pulp to a small saucepan along with the brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Whisk together and place the mixture over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 hours before using. Remove the vanilla pod. Once cool, place the syrup in a squeeze bottle or other sealable container. Store in the refrigerator.
• Preheat grill on high.
• Peel and remove the core from the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into eighths, lengthwise, and remove any prickly brown eyes.
• Thread the pieces of pineapple onto the skewers lengthwise. Coat the skewered pineapple on all sides with the syrup. Grill on all sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side, 12 minutes total, or until the pineapple is tender. Serve with any remaining sauce.

MINTY PINEAPPLE RUM

Steps:

• Place the first 5 ingredients in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. pitcher; stir in rum. Pour 1/3 cup mixture into each glass. Add ice; pour 1/2 cup soda over ice. Garnish with pineapple slices and additional mint leaves.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Place pineapple wedges on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir together rum, brown sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds in a small bowl. Brush rum mixture onto pineapple. Dot pineapple tops with butter.
• Roast until liquid has evaporated and pineapple has caramelized, about 30 minutes. Let pineapple cool slightly in dish on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with ice cream.

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.

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.
