Hi all, please help - I bought 6 pineapples today, at a local auction for £1.00, I;m making some pineapple jam as we speak with 3, but need ideas for the other 3 - they are very ripe, hence the urgency!

If you would like to eat one today, Jamie Olivers bash 2 tablespoons of Granulated sugar and a handful of mint together in a pestle n mortar, then sprinkle over your cut up pineapple is well loved in this household!
The only other recipe that flies into my head when I think Pineapple is upside down cake! ;D Reminds me of my childhood. (Would freeze too)
They do keep well in the fridge which slows down the ripening.
Thanks DP, unfortunately I'm dieting at the moment, so might make and freeze pineapple upside down pud - I remember my Grandma making that! :)
Kathi if you UK Google Pineapple recipes, there are quite a few, including one on another allotment site for pineapple and squash! (sounded interesting)
Thanks again DP - I'll have a look now, and see what I can find

1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons ginger, small dice
6 jalapenos, diced
1 tablespoon cumin, toasted and ground
1/2 cup rum
1 pineapple, diced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup raw sugar

Salt and fresh ground pepper
In saucepan over medium heat, saute onions, ginger, jalapenos, and cumin for 6 minutes. Add rum, cook until almost all is evaporated. Add pineapple, lime juice, and sugar, bring to simmer and remove from heat. Add cilantro, salt and pepper, to taste.
Biscombe - that sounds yummy, I love making chutneys, so will have a go at that - no cilantro but sure I can find substitute
