Planters Fresh Pineapple

A fun way to do dessert for a backyard party; these pineapple skewers are dipped in rum and sugar then glazed over an open flame.

Ingredients:

• 1 fresh pineapple
• 1/2 cup rum
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 can sterno
• 2 dozen small bamboo skewers

Directions:

Cut across the pineapple 6-7 inches from base. Use a small sharp paring knife and remove the fruit portion of the pineapple without cutting the rind. Cut the pineapple meat into bite size chunks and chill. Using the hollowed pineapple with a can of sterno in it as a centerpiece, arrange around it bowls of sugar and rum, pineapple chunks and skewers. Light the sterno. Skewer a pineapple chunk, dip it into rum, then sugar and glaze it over the fire.
