Sweet, sour, and cool sensations combine in this intoxicatingly perfumed dessert. Look for rose water and cardamon pods in natural-foods stores or Indian markets. If you can't find cardamom pods, substitute 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom. Ingredients:
6 (1/4-inch-thick) lime slices, each cut into quarters |
3/4 cup water |
1/4 cup sugar |
8 cardamom pods |
3 cups (1-inch) cubed fresh pineapple |
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1 1/2 teaspoons rose water |
3 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream |
1/4 cup chopped pistachios |
Directions:
1. Cook lime slices in boiling water 1 minute; drain.
2. Combine 3/4 cup water, sugar, and cardamom in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Add lime slices to pan; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 1 hour. Discard cardamom pods.
3. Combine pineapple, raisins, and rose water in a large bowl. Pour lime mixture over pineapple mixture, and toss gently to combine. Cover and chill up to 24 hours. Serve with ice cream and pistachios.
