Title: Pineapple Recipes needed Please - Urgent
Post by: prink13 on July 25, 2007, 15:07:59
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.
