Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 fresh pineapple
4 thin slices prosciutto (2 ounces)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 fresh jalapeño , seeded

Steps:

  • 1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple and remove the skin with a sharp knife. Cut the pineapple in quarters lengthwise through the core. Cut out the core. (Reserve half the pineapple for another use.) Cut 2 of the pieces in half again lengthwise, then cut those 4 pieces crosswise into 6 equal pieces to make 24 chunks. Cut each slice of prosciutto lengthwise into 3 strips. Cut each strip in half crosswise to make 24 pieces total. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each chunk of pineapple. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • 3. Bake on the upper rack until the prosciutto is sizzling and browned in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 4. Meanwhile, whisk pineapple juice, ketchup, vinegar, cornstarch and garlic powder in a small bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add jalapeño and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the juice mixture; bring to a simmer. Cook until glossy and thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the pineapple bites on toothpicks with the dipping sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of pineapple, but these bites were surprisingly delicious. The prosciutto and brown sugar were the perfect complements to the pineapple.
