Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!

~Chameleon~

I need some inspiration and/or recipe ideas for what I can do with a pineapple and a couple of mangoes please

I don't mind if it's savoury or sweet and have plenty of other meat/veg/storecupboard stuff available to make just about anything you can throw at me

How about a fruit salad.
Or, if you want something different, a Pineapple Meringue Pie.

Many such recipes are on Google

How about caribbean(sp!) rundown chicken with pineapple:

Coconut rundown sauce*
6 boneless chicken breasts (can use mackrel, or aubergines instead)
2 tbsp white wine
2 tbsp fresh cream
2 tbsp corriander
Handful pineapple cut into chunks

for marinade:
2 cloves garlic crushed
sprig of thyme
1 onion
1 tsp ginger

Dice chicken an marinade for at least an hour

Remove from marinade (reserve marinade)
fry chicken till browned
add reserved marinade and fry for 1 minute.
Deglaze pan with wine
Add pineapple, rundown sauce and cream.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins.
Serve with rice

Followed by mango fool for pudding:

350g mango chopped.
300ml double cream
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3 tbsp icing sugar
sprigs of mint to garnish.

Blend mango.
Whip together cream, vanilla and icing sugar. Chill mango and cream separately for at least an hour. Just before serving fold two together and garnish with mint

*(Walkerswood or to make your own - combine coconut milk with fried spring onions, chilli pepper, oil, allspice, onion, garlic and blend into a sauce)

I froze a fresh pineapple last week (I had chopped it up first) and it froze really well.

Pineapple and Mango crumble.........yummy!

Have you tried adding pineapple to rhubarb jam instead of ginger, it makes for a great tasting change although it does not store for as long.

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm Pineapple and mango - droool
They taste so delicious, I'm afraid I'd be a bit of a philistine and just chop them up and eat them as they are. Or maybe add some strawberries. Getting carried away now.

Thanks for the recipe Pretty Pennies, I've just printed out the carribbean rundown chicken with pineapple recipe and will be trying that later in the week. I love meat and fruit recipes.

That's what I usually do but thought I might try something different this time

The chicken recipe sounds fantastic! :drool: as does the crumble, never thought of making a crumble with them so thanks for that

I do like the sound of making something Caribbean though, and I guess that chicken recipe would go great with rice and peas :cool:
