Best Pineapple In Ginger Rum Syrup Recipes

PINEAPPLE GINGER MOJITOS WITH SPICED RUM

Steps:

• Place the pineapple juice and slices of ginger into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Leave to cool to room temperature, then discard the ginger.
• Make the caramelized pineapple next. Heat the butter in a frying pan until starting to foam.
• Dust the pineapple slices in the brown sugar and place in the frying pan. Fry, turning once, until both sides are golden and caramelized (about 3-4 minutes). Put to one side.
• Place 6 mint leaves in each glass (this recipe is for two glasses). Add the lime juice and lime slices to the glasses.
• Pour in the reduced pineapple-ginger juice and muddle everything together with a spoon.
• Fill the glasses up two-thirds of the way with crushed ice, then pour over the spiced rum. Top with the soda water (club soda) and mix again. Add more ice to fill up to the top if necessary.
• Garnish the glasses with a small sprig of mint and a slice of caramelized pineapple.

PINEAPPLE-GINGER SYRUP

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, slice off top and bottom of pineapple. Holding fruit upright on cutting board, slice off peel in strips; reserve peel. Cut flesh into 8 wedges. Remove core; reserve. Refrigerate wedges for another use.
• Cut reserved peel and core into 1-inch pieces; place in a medium saucepan with ginger, sugar, and 4 cups water. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, 25 to 30 minutes. Strain, discarding solids; chill.

FRESH PINEAPPLE RUM

Steps:

• Place pineapple in a large glass container. Pour in rum, covering pineapple completely.
• Store container on a cool, dark shelf, stirring and tasting once a day, until rum reaches desired flavor, at least 1 week but preferably 2.
• Strain out pineapple before serving.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
• Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
• Allow the pineapple to macerate in the brown sugar for anywhere from two hours to two days; refrigerate if macerating more than a few hours. The pineapple should release enough juice to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
• Heat the grill to medium heat.
• Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
• Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
• When the pineapple becomes caramel colored on the bottom side, rotate it. Repeat for each of the 3 sides of each wedge, then remove from the grill.
• Pour the juice from the bag into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to a thick syrup (be careful of flare-ups during the first minutes since there will be alcohol from the rum and vanilla extract).
• Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.
