Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- You will need a large saucepan, or a heavy-bottom pot to make this recipe.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Cut the vanilla bean in half and scrap out the seeds.
- Add the vanilla bean, scraped seeds, milk, cream, sugar, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk until the sugars dissolve, and it begins to warm.
- Whisk in the baking soda.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer and stir every few minutes for about 35 - 40 minutes.
- Do not scrape the sides, just stir the sauce.
- After about another 15 - 20 minutes the sauce will turn a golden brown, and your spatula leave a trail in the sauce when you pull it through.
- Use a mesh strainer to strain the sauce into a container, then stir in the rum.
- Rum can go bad, and it is my suggestion that you drink a shot or two; just to make sure that it is okay.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Drizzle over pancakes, crepes, bananas or other fruit. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Strain sauce through fine sieve, discarding solids. Cool completely. (Sauce can be made ahead and stored, covered, in refrigerator. Before using, taste and add salt if needed.)
- Prepare lamb
- Combine orange zest and canela in medium bowl. Rinse lamb shanks and pat dry. Sprinkle liberally with salt, then with orange-canela mixture. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- Arrange steamer rack in very large stockpot and add water to just below bottom of rack. Cover and bring water to boil.
- Place 1 parchment sheet on work surface and place 1 pineapple slice in center. Put 1 lamb shank, bone pointing upward, on top of pineapple, and spoon a thick coating of guajillo-pineapple sauce over meat. Draw up sides of parchment and tie tightly around bone with kitchen twine. Assemble 5 more pouches in same manner and place in steamer.

QUICK SOUTH OF THE BORDER CASSEROLE
My mom used to make this for our large family back in the 1970s, and we loved it! It is easy, fun to make and yummy to eat! You can make it mild by adding mild green chiles or spice it up a bit by substituting pickled jalapenos. This recipe is close to my heart, bringing back memories of me and my 3 sisters at the dinner...
