Sunday, I made this simple and
delicious dessert…I think that it can be a beautiful dessert for a Christmas
table, along with the other traditional Christmas cakes. A fresh fruit dessert
with an exotic touch is always welcome…
Ingredients
1 pineapple
1 piece of fresh ginger
180g sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 cup peeled pistachios
Preparation
1. Peel the pineapple and save the most
perfect leaves as a decoration.
2. Remove the central part of the
pineapple and cut the flesh into pieces.
3. Pour the pineapple in a bowl and add
the peeled and grated ginger. Sprinkle with a little boiling water, cover and
allow to stand for about half an hour.
4. Drain the liquid into a saucepan and
add the sugar and the lemon juice. Simmer over a low heat for about 5 minutes.
5. Allow the liquid to cool and pour over
the pineapple. Leave the mixture to stand for an hour or more.
6. Serve in individual glass bowls
decorated with pineapple leaves and salted roast pistachios, roughly chopped
with their skin.
Serves 4-6
I agree with you on this one: there is nothing better than some fresh fruit at the end of a large meal.
