Roast Whole Pineapple With Black Pepper Rum Recipes

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.

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.

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.
