Roasted Pineapple With Rum Maple Glaze Recipes

GLAZED ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Peel pineapple; cut into six wedges. Cut wedges lengthwise to remove core; cut each widthwise into four pieces. Pour butter into a 2-qt. baking dish; top with pineapple. Combine the brown sugar, honey, pie spice and extract; spoon over pineapple., Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon cooking juices over the top. Serve warm with sorbet.

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.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Place a rotisserie over a hot fire (425° to 450°F) in a wood-fired fire pit, grill, or campfire. Let the coals of the fire burn down to a glow.
• Combine the maple syrup, rum, and lime juice in a small bowl. Skewer the pineapple with the spit rod and secure with the spit's prongs. Using a basting brush, coat the pineapple with the glaze. Place the spit 6 inches over the coals and roast, basting with the glaze every 5 minutes or so at first, less often as the pineapple roasts and colors. Roast until the pineapple is caramelized and the exterior is slightly soft to the touch, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from the rotisserie and let cool for 10 minutes on the spit rod. Remove from the rod, slice or cut into chunks, slather on some more basting syrup, and serve with the lime wedges.
