Categories     Spanish Recipes

Yield Makes 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

15 large guajillo chiles, wiped clean, stemmed, and seeded
6 chiles de arbol (with seeds), wiped clean
4 cups peeled pineapple pieces (1/2-inch each, from about 1/2 pineapple)
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
10 to 12 cloves garlic
1 piece (3 inches) Mexican cinnamon bark, cut in half
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat a dry skillet over low heat or preheat a broiler to low and position rack about 8 inches from the broiler. Place guajillo chiles in skillet or under broiler and toast on all sides until softened. Transfer guajillo chiles to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak until softened, 20 minutes to 1 hour. Place chiles de arbol in skillet or under broiler and toast on all sides until blistered; set aside.
  • Drain guajillo chiles and rinse well. Working in batches, combine the guajillos, pineapple, orange juice, chiles de arbol, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and 2 cups water in the jar of a blender; blend until very smooth.
  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Pour in blended mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is shiny and thickened, about 30 minutes. If sauce thickens before taking on a nice sheen, add water, a few tablespoons at a time and no more than 1 cup, and continue cooking.
  • Stir in sugar and vinegar; season with salt. Strain sauce through a very fine mesh sieve, pressing solids down with a spatula to remove as much liquid as possible. Sauce can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated up to 4 days. Reheat before using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more intense flavor than canned pineapple.
  • If you are using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using it in the recipe.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for making the quesillo. This will help to prevent the quesillo from burning.
  • Cook the quesillo over medium heat. This will help to prevent the quesillo from curdling.
  • Stir the quesillo constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the quesillo from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • The quesillo is done cooking when it has thickened and is slightly golden in color.
  • Serve the quesillo warm or at room temperature. It can be served on its own or with a variety of toppings, such as fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Pineapple quesillo is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh pineapple, and it can be made with a variety of different toppings. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just for a simple weeknight dessert, pineapple quesillo is sure to be a hit.
