The ingredients Oven Roasted Pineapple
- Pineapple: a whole pineapple will work. Do not buy one that is too ripened. The firmer, the better.
- Unsalted Butter: I prefer using unsalted butter in most of my desserts.
- Brown Sugar: this works better than granulated sugar.
- Ground Ginger: I prefer using ground ginger for this recipe for convenience.
- Lime juice: fresh juice is better.
- Vanilla Pods: the pods can be pricey, bit is worth it in this recipe. You can also use store-bought vanilla paste.
- Dark Rum: I prefer Rum Barbancourt.
- Water: lukewarm water works better.
- Banana: not too ripened.
Oven Roasted Pineapple is made with vanilla pods, banana, ginger, lime juice, dark rum, cayenne pepper, and water and baked in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the slices are cooked but still firm. This warm, peppery, sweet, citrus dessert can be served on any occasion.
Try it with pineapple rum for a more delightful taste – very delicious.
Enjoy!
