Ingredients

  1. 1/2 teaspoon ground pink peppercorns
  2. 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  3. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  4. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 1 pineapple, peeled
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  8. 2 tablespoons sugar
  9. 1 tablespoon white rum
  10. 1/2 cup crumbled gingersnap cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. On a plate, mix together the peppercorns, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the pineapple or roll the pineapple in it so it is evenly coated.
  3. Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and place the pineapple in the pan. Cook, rotating the pineapple regularly, until light brown all over, about 3 minutes. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. Roast until tender to the core when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 45 minutes. Uncover and allow the pineapple to cool to room temperature in the pan.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar and rum. Using a handheld mixer, beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  5. Slice the pineapple into 1-inch-thick rounds. Place 1 slice on each plate. Dollop with a spoonful of cream and a crumble of gingersnaps. Drizzle any remaining juice over the top.

I made this for a family gathering and it was a huge hit! My pineapple wasn’t very ripe so I didn’t know if it would taste ok but cooking it made it so sweet and juicy. Cooking another one this morning!

I loved the flavors in this recipe.  Mine needed to roast for a much longer time but perhaps my pineapple wasn’t quite ripe enough. I  served the pineapple as a side instead of as a dessert so I did not add the cream topping.  It was delicious.
