PINEAPPLE-MINT RELISH

PINEAPPLE RELISH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil onion and green pepper. Saute until the vegetables are soft. Add the pineapple, the salt and the pepper. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until the liquid reduces, about 30 minutes.
• Deglaze the saucepan with the vinegar and add the lime zest, mustard and garlic. Cook uncovered over low heat until the liquid is reduced again, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, let cool then refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. Aloha!

PINEAPPLE AND MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the mint with the pineapple, the onion, the sugar, and a pinch of salt and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Let the chutney stand, covered, for 1 hour. The chutney may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the chutney with grilled meat and fish.

JAMIE OLIVER'S PINEAPPLE WITH BASHED-UP MINT SUGAR

Steps:

• Core the pineapple and cut it into quarters.
• Thinly slice of bits of the quarters. Make your slices as thin as possible.
• Arrange the slices on a plate in one or two layers. I tend to go for one.
• Put the sugar into a mortar and pestle and then add the mint leaves.
• Jamie then says to 'bash the heck out of it' until the color of the sugar changes to a greenish color. I find it smells really nice at this point.
• Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the pineapple slices and serve.

JUSTINE'S PINEAPPLE-MINT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 1 1/2 cups water and cook to boiling over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches the soft-ball stage (234 to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer), when a drop forms a soft ball in a cup of cold water. Stir in the mint and simmer over medium heat 10 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Pour the mint syrup into a blender and purée; strain into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the corn syrup. Purée the pineapple and pineapple juice in a blender and add to the mint-syrup mixture, along with the milk, cream, crème de menthe and lemon juice. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight and freeze according to the ice-cream maker's directions.
