  1. I bought a large, but with very little flavor, pineapple the other day and this recipe was what I needed. Extremely tasty. Now I have to improve on the presentation for company.
     
  2. This is a delicious dessert. Just the right balance of sweetness and fruit acidity. It took no time to prepare, mostly because I substitued slices of a pre-cored and rinded pineapple for the whole pineapple. The presentation wasn't as pretty as this sounds to be, but the taste was great. I used the left-over sauce to heat some bananas and served them over vanilla ice cream, and that also worked well.
