Planked Pineapple (or peach or pear.....)

We are still trying out all the different combinations of fruit and woods but here is one of our favourite fruit recipes, very simple but quite delicious.

Most fruits can be steamed on a plank such as bananas, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, nectarines, mango..... try making a steamed fruit salad with fresh mint or with cinnamon sticks or drizzled with honey or treacle.

Try adding more rum or kirsch to your fruit by putting some into the water soaking solution . If you are cooking with the kids then put some fruit juice into the water instead.

Cedar is the best wood as it has a lovely sweet spicy flavour but you can also use cherry which imparts a subtler fruity taste.

 

Ingredients
1 pineapple, peeled 3 tbsp palm or demerara sugar shot of rum chocolate toffee sauce or chocolate ice cream serves 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Rub the rum into the pineapple followed by the sugar

2. Place your pineapple onto your pre-soaked Cedar Roasting Plank and put into the oven at Gas Mark 4-5 for about 30 minutes, turning over once. Place on your table and slice your pineapple, serve with chocolate toffee sauce or ice cream.

Your plank only needs to be soaked for at least 4 hours because the cooking time is so short.
