UPSIDE-DOWN PINEAPPLE PANCAKES WITH PINEAPPLE COCONUT SYRUP
From my favorite cookbook by Marie Simmons, Pancakes A to Z. She credits this recipe to Chef Philippe Padovani from the Manele Bay Hotel. Similar to a pineapple upside-down cake but now you can call it breakfast! ;) Fresh or canned pineapple rings can be used and Marie suggests using two 6-inch nonstick skillets so you can make both pancakes at the same time. Or using one pan, make the first pancake & just repeat the process for the second. Posted for ZWT 5 Caribbean region.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Arrange bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, flipping once halfway through, until dry but not browned, 20-30 minutes. This will help the bread absorb the coconut milk without sogging out.
- While bread toasts, drain pineapple cubes, reserving juice. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Cook pineapple, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add juice, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pineapple breaks down a little and juice is syrupy and thick, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Whisk coconut milk, vanilla, and remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, dip each slice of bread into coconut milk mixture and let soak about 15 seconds. Flip and soak 15 more seconds. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on each side, 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread, brushing skillet with more oil between batches.
- Arrange toast on a platter. Top with pineapple pieces and syrup.

Tips:
- Select the Right Coconut: Choose mature coconuts with brown husks. Younger, green coconuts have less flesh and water.
- Scrape the Coconut Properly: Use a sharp spoon or coconut scraper to remove the flesh from the shell. Work in small sections to avoid wasting coconut meat.
- Use a Strainer: When extracting coconut milk, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any coconut bits and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Reduce the Coconut Milk: To make coconut syrup, simmer the coconut milk until it thickens and reduces to a syrupy consistency.
- Add Sweeteners Wisely: Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your desired sweetness level. Coconut syrup is naturally sweet, so start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Experiment with Flavors: Enhance the flavor of your coconut syrup by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices.
- Store Properly: Keep the coconut syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze the syrup in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Coconut syrup is a versatile and delicious natural sweetener that adds a unique flavor to various dishes and beverages. Whether you use it in baked goods, smoothies, or as a topping for desserts, coconut syrup is a healthier alternative to refined sugars. With its simple preparation and numerous health benefits, making your own coconut syrup at home is a rewarding and satisfying experience. Experiment with different flavors and applications to discover the endless possibilities of this versatile natural sweetener.
