| Peeled, cored, sliced pineapple - details in How to deal with Pineapples |
Hot Pineapple Pudding is a simply superb winter dessert: hot, heady with tropical scent, naturally sweet, exotic without costing the earth. And healthier than many desserts.
It is baked with the tiniest amount of muscovado sugar (also known as molasses sugar - the darkest on the market) and fresh grated ginger. Ginger root is the key ingredient here -- try to get fresh -- and gives an undisputed but welcome kick. People who normally don't like ginger will love this. Served with yoghurt cream or, if there are no cholesterol issues, single or whipping cream, the Hot Pineapple Pudding is a winner.
