If this simple delicious treat doesn?t satisfy your sweet tooth don't think anything will. This pineapple was pleasant on pancakes and look forward to trying again on some ice cream or maybe on some grilled pound cake. I used the entire vanilla bean as I made this pre coffee and missed the note that said save the seeds for another use, but would use them again as we loved every single bite of the fantastic pineapple. Thanks for the yummy post.
