Spiced Fried Pineapple

Good Pair Days -
  • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into thick slices
  • 200g demerara sugar
  • 50g butter
  • A few broken star anise
  • 1 chopped lemongrass
  • 1 piece of pared lime peel
  • 100ml rum
  • Scatter the sugar over a plate and dip the pineapple in it to coat both sides. Melt the butter in a frying pan, and when it starts foaming, add the pineapple slices, lemongrass, lime peel, and star anise and cook the fruit until browned on both sides.
  • Heat the rum in a ladle and carefully set it alight. Pour all over the pineapple and allow it to burn off, then serve with the syrupy caramel poured all over, with your choice of cream or ice cream on the side. Yum!
