This was sweet enough without adding the creme fraiche. Great dessert and interesting way to serve pineapple. I used a lime from my tree. Made for Family Picks.

Awesome. I had to make it as chunks rather than wedges to fit into the pan. The lime was perfect with the sweetness of the pineapple and the cinnamon creme fraiche was the perfect accompaniment. Made for ZWT9.
