Spiced Glazed Pineapple With Cinnamon Crema

Submitted by Jostlori

"This is an easy and healthy dessert alternative. In the Caribbean, the crema in this recipe is called Crema Centro Americana or Natilla. Buy the unsalted version. If you can't find it in U.S. grocery stores, you can substitute Mexican Crema or sour cream or low-fat cream cheese if necessary. The pineapple and crema stand alone as a dessert, but you can also chop the finished pineapple into chunks and serve it over ice cream. Yum!"
