Roasted Pineapple Spiced Rum Recipes

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.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pineapple on its side and slice off the top and the bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and trim off the rind. Try to get as much of the 'eyes' off as possible. Slice the pineapple in half, then into quarters. Lay a quarter on the cutting board and slice out the tough core. Repeat with all the quarters.
• Slice each wedge in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wedge with half the melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Flip the pineapple wedges and brush with the remaining butter or oil and roast for another 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE SPICED RUM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange pineapple slices in an even layer on prepared baking sheet.
• Roast pineapple in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool until easily handled, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer cooled pineapple to a container. Top with rum.
• Split vanilla bean lengthwise with the tip of a sharp knife. Holding the pod open, scrape seeds from each half using the flat side of your knife. Add seeds and scraped pods to the container. Stir in raisins, cinnamon sticks, orange zest, vanilla extract, peppercorns, allspice berries, nutmeg, star anise, and cardamom.
• Seal container and store in a cool, dark place. Mix every day, removing any spice that becomes too dominant for your taste, until rum reaches desired flavor, 5 days to 2 weeks. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Strain again through a coffee filter. Discard whole spices; reserve strained fruit.

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 GOLDEN PINEAPPLE WITH SPICED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a stainless steel mixing bowl, combine pineapple slices, sugar, wine, vanilla bean and mint leaves. Place into baking pan and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Fruit should be slightly caramelized to the bottom of the baking pan and there should be fragrant syrup through out.
• Whip cream to soft peaks. Add 1/4 cup sugar and spices. Continue whipping to stiff peak.
• Serve slice of pineapple with syrup and dollop of cream. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
