Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups half-and-half
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
6 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 cup light rum
2 pineapple (large and ripe)
fresh mint sprig (to garnish)

Steps:

Heat half-and-half and brown sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat to simmering.
Whisk about 1 cup hot half-and-half into egg yolks, then whisk yolks into remaining half-and-half. Cook, whisking constantly, over low heat until slightly thickened, 7-10 minutes. Strain through sieve and let cool to room temperature. Stir in rum and refrigerate covered.
Cut tops and bottoms from pineapples and cut away peels and eyes. Quarter lengthwise. Remove cores and cut each quarter lengthwise in half. Spoon sauce over pineapple and garnish with mint sprigs.

Tips:

Choose ripe pineapples: The best pineapples for infusing rum are ripe and juicy. Look for pineapples with a golden-yellow color and a sweet, fragrant aroma.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple, spices, and herbs will give your pineapple rum the best flavor. Avoid using bottled or canned pineapple juice, as it will not produce the same quality of flavor.
Infuse the rum for at least 2 weeks: The longer you infuse the rum, the more flavor it will have. However, you can enjoy the rum after just a few days of infusing.
Store the rum in a cool, dark place: Once you have infused the rum, store it in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the flavor and prevent the rum from going bad.

Conclusion:

Pineapple rum is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you drink it neat, on the rocks, or mixed with your favorite cocktail, pineapple rum is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new rum to try, give pineapple rum a shot.
