Rum paste should be made day before and allowed to come to room temperature before using. Ingredients:
2 fresh pineapple, with tops on |
1/2 cup dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup molasses |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/3 cup dark rum |
Directions:
1. DAY BEFORE:.
2. Combine the molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and rum to form a paste. Chill. Remove from refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before using.
3. 2 hours before your party:.
4. Cut the pineapples, including the leafy tops, into quarters. Cut out the core and cut pineapple off of the skin and into bite size pieces. Return it to the shell.
5. Place the pineapples onto foil lined baking sheets and cover the leafy tops with foil. Brush the pineapple pieces with the rum mixture. Cover with plastic until ready to bake.
6. To bake:
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the pineapple until glazed and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Arrange on a platter with toothpicks, and serve warm. Bake one pineapple at a time, because this is always eaten up quickly, and you will want to have more to serve later in the party.
