Stewed pineapple
This is a classic sweet dessert that we always make. It’s perfect for after a meal and these stewed, almost candied, pineapples get better and better every time they get warmed up.
Ingredients
- 750g/1lb 10oz frozen pineapple chunks
- 250g/9oz caster sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cardamom pods, crushed
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 150²µ/5½´Ç³ú ghee
To Serve
- ice cream of your choice
Method
Put the pineapple in a medium non-stick pan with the caster sugar, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon and fennel seeds. Put over a high heat.
Let the pineapple boil in its juices for 20 minutes (lots of liquid will be released from the pineapple). Reduce the heat and then simmer for another 20 minutes.
Add the ghee and cook gently until the pineapple is a clear amber colour.
Serve the stewed pineapple hot with a dollop of cold ice cream.
