Poached Pineapple Sundaes

Sydney Mike's Note:

Here's a recipe of simple pineapple slices poached in a tea-infused syrup and served over frozen yogurt! My Cinnamon Wontons #296523 add a nice crunch! (NOTE: 3 tablespoons of dried rose hips can be substituted for the 4 rose hips tea bags!) Preparation time does not include time needed to chill the prepared pineapple.

I really liked this more than I thought I would. I used canned pineapple and some herbal green tea-its what I had- and I loved the taste of them with the vanilla. I am going to use the rest to make banana splits for the kids.

Reduced to one serving. I could not find rose hips tea so I used Harney & Sons Chamomile Tea. I also used canned pineapple chunks. The flavor of this dessert is superb and it's healthy for you also. Next time I'll try it using some fresh pineapple and perhaps some strawberry flavored yogurt. A definite keeper!
