Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 rounds (each 1/4 inch thick) peeled pineapple (1 small pineapple or 1/2 large)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved

Amaretto Pound Cake with Flambeed Pineapple

Steps:

  • Cut each pineapple round into 4 wedges. Trim core from point of each wedge, and discard; set wedges aside.
  • Heat sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar melts and turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pineapple; toss to combine.
  • Stand back, and carefully pour in liqueur; immediately tilt skillet slightly, and ignite alcohol. When flames subside and caramel melts, stir in cream, lemon juice, vanilla seeds, and salt. Reduce heat to medium; let sauce boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pineapple and sauce over cake slices, and serve immediately.

The pineapple was a bit too tart for my taste, but the rum sauce was excellent.
