Categories     Candy     Pineapple

Yield Makes 1 candied pineapple

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pineapple
4 cups water
6 cups superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Preparing the Pineapple
  • If you are using a small Victoria pineapple, leave the greens attached and remove the skin, but keep the fruit whole. Otherwise, peel the pineapple, taking care to remove all of the eyes, then cut the pineapple crosswise into slices 1/2 inch thick. Remove the center with a round cutter. Place the whole pineapple in a deep bowl or arrange the slices in a single layer in a large, wide nonreactive dish.
  • Soaking in the Syrup
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the water and 3 cups of the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the boiling syrup over the pineapple, cover, and set aside overnight.
  • Cooking and Steeping
  • The next day, pour the syrup into a large saucepan, add 1 cup sugar, and bring to a boil. Add the pineapple to the syrup, boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover, and set aside overnight. Repeat this process two more times over two more days, adding 1 cup sugar to the syrup each time, then allow the pineapple to steep in the syrup for 1 week at room temperature. Remove from the syrup and enjoy!

My Grandma's Candied Yams with Pineapple image

Grandma was always in charge of Thanksgiving dinner in my family. This is my variation on her candied yams (sweet potatoes), and they are the best!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until smooth. Drain the pineapple in a strainer, reserving the juice. Stir in about half the pineapple and half the pineapple juice; reserve the rest of the pineapple and juice for another use. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture directly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the sweet potatoes are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Plate and serve immediately. Pour extra sauce from the bottom of the baking dish on top.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, firm pineapples with vibrant yellow flesh. Avoid pineapples with blemishes or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the pineapple's skin and eyes. Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • To make the sugar syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the pineapple slices to the sugar syrup and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pineapple is translucent and tender. Remove the pineapple slices from the syrup and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the pineapple slices are cool, roll them in granulated sugar to coat. Place the candied pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow them to dry completely.
  • Store the candied pineapple slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied pineapple slices are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts, cocktails, and salads. They are also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own candied pineapple slices at home.
