PINEAPPLE WITH MINT
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- 1. Cut about 1 inch off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a sharp heavy knife. Stand the pineapple on its end and, with a smaller, sharp knife, cut off the husk in strips from top to bottom all the way around. Then, with a paring knife, dig out any "eyes" from the flesh. Lay the pineapple on its side and cut crosswise into 6 (3/4-inch-thick) slices and place on a plate. 2. Sprinkle sugar evenly over slices and divide the shredded mint evenly on top of each slice. Stack the sugared, minted slices, one on top of the other, and put the stack in a sealed plastic bag. Close securely. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight, so the fruit macerates in the sugar and mint. 3. To serve, discard the shredded mint. Pour the collected juices through a strainer into a cup. Discard residue. Place 1 slice of pineapple on each of 4 plates with a strawberry in the center. Spoon some of the juice on each slice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Serve cold.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

JAMIE OLIVER'S PINEAPPLE WITH BASHED-UP MINT SUGAR
I first had this served to me a few years back when Jamie Oliver was just becoming known in the UK. I didn't think it would be good but I found it really tasty and very refreshing. Now I love serving it up to people that haven't tried it. It is best to serve this as soon as possible because it tastes its best when it is fresh and not sitting around.

Steps:
- Core the pineapple and cut it into quarters.
- Thinly slice of bits of the quarters. Make your slices as thin as possible.
- Arrange the slices on a plate in one or two layers. I tend to go for one.
- Put the sugar into a mortar and pestle and then add the mint leaves.
- Jamie then says to 'bash the heck out of it' until the color of the sugar changes to a greenish color. I find it smells really nice at this point.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the pineapple slices and serve.
