My grandmother used to make this for us on Easter. She recently revived the dish and I begged her for the recipe. It is now a staple to all my cookouts and is always a favorite. She hates that my extended family calls this "my" recipe since it's hers, but I always give her credit!

Light the oven, get out the brown sugar, and you are in for a special (roasted) pineapple treat.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium pineapple (3 pounds)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon dark rum
Raspberry sorbet, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in upper third. Using a chef's knife, slice off top and bottom ends of pineapple. Following the fruit's natural shape and working from top to bottom, slice off skin in strips; cut away any "eyes." Quarter lengthwise; remove tough core. Cut each quarter into 4 pieces lengthwise.
  • Place butter in an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish, and melt in oven, 6 minutes.
  • Arrange pineapple in the dish. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, honey, pie spice, and rum.
  • Spoon sugar mixture over pineapple. Bake until tender and bubbly, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with sorbet, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more juice than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of your casserole. Shredding your own cheese ensures that you're getting the freshest, highest-quality cheese possible.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pineapple is heated through. Overcooking the casserole will make the pineapple tough and the cheese dry.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but they may not be as flavorful as when they were first made.

Conclusion:

Ruth's Hot Pineapple Cheese Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pineapple, sharp cheddar cheese, and savory Ritz crackers is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will be the hit of your next party or potluck.
