Recipes for fresh pineapple & Quick questions?

I liked the idea of a Hawaiian party

I went for lightly blending some of it and then putting it in the fridge to have with ice-cream for pudding tonight.

Rest of it is blended to smithereens in the blender, divided it up into freezer bags and bunged into the freezer. Can defrost a bag at a time and throw it into a sweet and sour.

Thanks for the advice.

regarding the herbs and spices here is what I have in my cupboard (that I actually use!) I have added a star * at the begining to show the ones I use most often.

*chilli powder and/or chilli flakes (the flakes work well in stirfrys to add a little heat)
*Paprika
*black pepper (only grind what you need)
*sea salt
tumeric
cumin (great with chilli to make chilli con carne)
cinamon (cinamon toast.........yum........... :rotfl: )
nutmeg (for use in white sauces - whole is better as lasts longer)
*cloves

always have stock cubes on hand - not as organised as most on this board! and use beef, veg and chicken. I prefer oxo, but that's a personal preference.

I also have mixed herbs, basil, thyme in the cupboard and in the freezer I keep lemon grass and rosemary.

How about pineapple fritters.
Core pineapple then slice it up, dip in batter mix and deep fry. they are cooked when they float.
serve with ice cream and golden syrup, they are gorgeous i wish i had some right now. :mad:
You can also do this with bananas. Yummy

You can do this with frozen fruit, the lemons will provide enough pectin to get a set (freezing reduces setting ability)

3lb chopped pineapple
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, pips and pith reserved and tied in a cloth bag
3lb sugar

Put all ingredients into a jam pan. Heat slowly until the sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil, simmer 30-40 minutes till setting point is reached (do the wrinkle test on a frozen china plate)
Skim off any scum, remove the bag of pips and pith, pot up into sterilised jars.

I really like pineapple Salsa(you can do it with mango too). Dice your mango, with red or yellow pepper, maybe some cucumber, add a good squeeze of lime or lemon juice and the magic ingredient f you have any is fresh coriander. I am sure it would be lovely and fresh tasting even without though. Serve with chicken or pork chops.
