Time 26m

Yield about 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pineapple (about 5 pounds), trimmed
3/4 cup water, plus more as needed
6 whole allspice
4 thin ginger
One 3-inch long cinnamon stick
1 whole star anise
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
Toasted sweetened coconut flakes, as needed
Thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and core the pineapple, reserve the core. Cut the pineapple into about 1 1/2-inch chunks and roughly chop the core. Set the pineapple chunks aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple core, 3/4 cup of water, allspice, ginger, cinnamon, and star anise. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and just enough water so that it resembles wet sand. Place the pan over medium to medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to boil. Stop stirring and continue to cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add in the spice mixture. Stir the caramel, return it to medium heat, and simmer until reduced to a glaze, about 8 minutes. Set the caramel aside and let cool slightly. Strain the caramel into a bowl and discard the solids.
  • Add the pineapple chunks to the caramel and toss to combine. Marinate at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate overnight.
  • Put the toasted coconut on a plate. Using a fork, remove the pineapple chunks from the caramel. Working with one chunk at a time, roll the pineapple in the coconut, pressing it on. Thread the coconut-coated pineapple chunks onto the ends of the skewers, about 1 or 2 per skewer. Transfer to a serving platter and strew the mint over the top. Serve at room temperature.

These skewers are the perfect summer appetizer. They're light, refreshing, and flavorful. I love serving them with a side of grilled chicken or fish. I also like to add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to the top.
