Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 gold pineapple
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling, optional
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup pecan halves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 pinch kosher salt
1 quart vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Begin by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into 1/2-inch-thick planks approximately 2 by 2 inches wide; discard the core. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan. Whisk together 1/2 cup water, the rum, sugar, vanilla and salt, and then pour over the pineapple. Sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar, if desired, then roast until caramelized, 17 to 18 minutes. When done, remove the pineapple from the pan and allow to cool slightly before dicing.
  • For the pecans: Arrange the pecans in a baking sheet and toast until slightly darkened and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before adding the butter to the baking sheet. Immediately toss the baking sheet to coat the pecans as the butter melts. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and salt and toss once more. Set aside on a plate to cool.
  • To assemble, place 2 to 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl. Top with 2 to 3 spoonfuls of rum-roasted pineapple and garnish with sugared pecans.

Not bad, but I've had better.

This recipe was a disaster! The pineapple was mushy and the pecans were burnt. I won't be making this again.

I found the instructions to be a bit unclear, but the dish turned out great in the end.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise a solid recipe.

I've tried many rum roasted pineapple recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of sugared pecans and vanilla bean ice cream takes it to the next level.

I made this for my family and they loved it! The pineapple was so juicy and flavorful. The pecans added a nice crunch and the vanilla bean ice cream was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm always looking for new ways to use rum, and this recipe didn't disappoint. The rum and pineapple flavors complemented each other perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The pineapple was perfectly caramelized and the pecans were the perfect crunchy topping. I served it with vanilla bean ice cream and it was a delightful dessert.
