Baked Pineapple Shopping List:
1 large sugarloaf pineapple
1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
¼ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup amber rum
Baked Pineapple Preparation Instructions:
1. Cut top from pineapple and remove pulp from inside the top. Reserve leafy top. With a grapefruit knife, remove the core and pulp from the pineapple, being careful to leave a ¼-inch layer of flesh inside the rind to keep juice in during baking.
2. Dice the pineapple pulp and mix with banana and brown sugar in a bowl. Warm rum, ignite it, and, when the flame subsides, pour over fruit mixture. Fill pineapple shell with fruit; replace top, moisten with water, and wrap in foil. Secure top with a few wooden picks. Set upright in oven in a deep casserole.
3. Bake at 350° F 25 minutes. Remove foil and serve hot.
