CORN FRITTERS WITH PINEAPPLE-JALAPEñO SAUCE

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat until hot. Add finely chopped onion and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add gingerroot, finely chopped garlic, chile, cumin and cinnamon. Heat about 1 minute or until fragrant.
• Increase heat to medium. Add rum and pineapple juice mixture. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until there is no excess liquid in pan. Add pineapple chunks, brown sugar, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat mixture to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pineapple is soft.
• Remove mixture from heat and puree in food processor or blender. Stir in 3 tablespoons cilantro. Place in serving bowl and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature to serve.
• In food processor, pulse corn, bell pepper, 1/4 onion and the smashed garlic about 10 seconds; remove cover and scrape sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Make sure bell pepper and onion are getting chopped. Replace cover and pulse 10 seconds longer or until bell pepper and onion pieces are about 1/4 inch in size. Add milk, 3 tablespoons cilantro, the butter and eggs. Pulse until mixture is blended; set aside.

Flip fritters (if you are adept at using them, long chopsticks work well for this) and fry other side about 2 minutes or until golden. Drain on wire rack (paper towels are not good for draining fried food because they don't wick away enough oil). Serve immediately with sauce.
