Last month I made savoury salads with fruit in. These were so yummy that I wanted to make more fruit dishes. This lead me to thinking about roasted fruit. Pineapple is sweet but versatile. Also, as I discovered, it roasts really well too. It can be eaten with a variety of different dishes as well. Plus it can be eaten hot or cold. Also it accompanies fish, chicken or pork well and it tastes great with ice cream, cream or coconut cream and maple syrup too. We loved it and we hope you will too. Below is video and recipe for you.

Roasted Pineapple was delicious. We ate it with coconut cream and maple syrup. It was so yummy. All the ingredients in this dish are freezable. Therefore you could freeze this dish and eat it on another occasion. As I mentioned earlier it’s delicious hot or cold or as a savoury or sweet dish too. It was also very tasty as leftovers the next day. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
