Fresh Pineapple

There seems to be a bumper crop coming from Hawaii early this year. I
picked up three for $1.89 each - and am wondering what else to do with
them (other than just eat them!). They are a bit on the [censored] side but
still well worth the price paid. Any suggestions...?

They're very good baked and grilled.

A local Kroger chain, King Soopers, has had them on sale for $1.00 each
all week! They are good-quality too - mighty tasty.

The best I did was on Easter weekend when I found them for $1.87 and got two.
The week before I had paid $5.99 for one. The cheap ones were delicious.
They were perfectly ripe and nice and sweet.

I recently tasted pineapple-basil jam. It was good.

A lovely combination is chunks of fresh pineapple tossed with a
generous quantity of freshly chopped mint.
I usually serve this as a side dish with a barbecue, but as we're now
heading for our winter months, it'll be a long time before fresh
pineapples are available.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I think I will make some pineapple
crisp and maybe Barb's custard cake and/or ice cream. Not that we need
any sweets in this house, LOL...

I've come across the combo before, where the ineaplle was eihter raw (think
salsa or salsa) or had been grilled. I'm thinking basil cream or ice cream
with pineapple would be good, too.

Cut them up and freeze the little pieces. Use in smoothies. If you use
frozen fruit, you don't need to add ice cubes. (Pineapple and banana
is quite good together.)

LEBOUROUDJEE

3-3 1/2-lb. pineapple or 4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
water
1/4 lb. fresh ginger
1/2 c. lemon juice
approx. 3/4 c. sugar

Trim pineapple of peel and core and cut into 1" chunks. Whirl pineapple
chunks, a portion at a time, in a blender with 2 cups of water. (You
can usually put about half the pineapple and half the water in the
blender at a time and do it in 2 batches.) Pour puree through a wire
strainer (or several layers of cheese cloth, or a jelly bag) into a
large bowl, squeezing pulp to remove all juice. Discard pulp. Scrub
ginger and cut in 1" chunks. Whirl ginger in blender with an additional
2 cups of water. Pour through the wire strainer (etc.) into pineapple
juice, squeezing liquid from pulp. Discard pulp. Add lemon juice and
sugar to taste to the juice. Pour into a pitcher, cover, and chill
about 2 hours or overnight. Stir and pour over ice to serve. Makes 7-8
cups or about 10 servings.

Perhaps odd but that word does not appear on the net... anyways that
recipe is an awful waste of a pineapple... why not just smash it
against a brick wall.
