CANDIED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preparing the Pineapple
• If you are using a small Victoria pineapple, leave the greens attached and remove the skin, but keep the fruit whole. Otherwise, peel the pineapple, taking care to remove all of the eyes, then cut the pineapple crosswise into slices 1/2 inch thick. Remove the center with a round cutter. Place the whole pineapple in a deep bowl or arrange the slices in a single layer in a large, wide nonreactive dish.
• Soaking in the Syrup
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and 3 cups of the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the boiling syrup over the pineapple, cover, and set aside overnight.
• Cooking and Steeping
• The next day, pour the syrup into a large saucepan, add 1 cup sugar, and bring to a boil. Add the pineapple to the syrup, boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover, and set aside overnight. Repeat this process two more times over two more days, adding 1 cup sugar to the syrup each time, then allow the pineapple to steep in the syrup for 1 week at room temperature. Remove from the syrup and enjoy!

PINEAPPLE CANDY OR CRYSTALLIZED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Day 1: Peel the pineapple and remove the black spots and the core. Weigh about 500 g/ 1.1 lb of the pineapple and cut it into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it boils, add the salt. Blanch the pineapple pieces in two batches in the boiling water for about 50 seconds per batch. Remove to a sieve using a slotted spoon, refresh with icy water to stop the cooking process, and drain well in the sieve.
• Make the syrup: Bring water and 5 cups/ 1 kg granulated sugar to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the pineapple to the syrup, cover and let stand for 24 hours. Place a piece of baking/parchment paper directly over the pineapple pieces in the pot; this will prevent them from rising to the surface.
• Day 2: Remove the pineapple pieces from the syrup using a slotted spoon. Place them in a sieve and let drain while you boil the syrup again. Add another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and return the pineapple to the pot. Cover again with parchment paper and lid and leave to stand for another 24 hours.
• Day 3: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot
• Day 4: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot.
• Day 5: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot.
• Day 6: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot. Leave to stand for 48 hours. (Note 1)
• Day 8: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot. Leave to stand for 48 hours.
• Day 10: Repeat adding another ½ cup/ 100 g granulated sugar to the syrup in the pot. Leave to stand for 4 days.
• Day 14: Remove the pineapple candy from the syrup. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking/ parchment paper. Heat the convection/fan oven to 50 degrees Celsius/ 120 degrees Fahrenheit.Dry in the oven: Place the candied pineapple in the oven and dry for one or two hours. Check a few times in between; the crystallized pineapple pieces should feel dry and not very sticky (maybe just a little bit sticky still).

PINEAPPLE SOFT SERVE WITH SPICY CANDIED COCONUT

Steps:

• For the candied coconut: In a dry skillet or saucepan, toast the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the flakes are mostly golden in color. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chili powder, agave nectar and salt. Stir until the mixture is combined, then let the coconut cool completely before transferring to a bowl.
• For the pineapple soft serve: In a food processor or blender, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, agave, lime juice and salt and pulse until the pineapple is finely chopped. Then process or blend, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl/jar as needed, until smooth and airy, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately or transfer to a resealable top plastic bag and freeze until just firm, about 20 minutes. Trim off the corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into serving bowls, soft serve-style. Garnish with the candied coconut and a float of dark rum if desired (and 21+).
