SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH COCONUT RUM AND CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat skillet to medium high heat. Season pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Add peanut oil to skillet and sear pork chops until golden brown on both sides. Remove pork chops from pan and put into a preheated 450 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until done to your likeness. In same skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter and when it starts to brown add pineapple and cook until edges start to caramelize. Now add brown sugar, mix thoroughly, then add shallots and garlic and bring to a simmer. Next add rum and flambe ingredients. When the flame dies down, add chicken stock and bring to another simmer and reduce liquid by 1/2. Add lime juice, tomato, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Add remaining butter to thicken sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn starch and salt. Add the hot water slowly, whisking constantly. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Turn off the heat once the sauce has thickened - about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings and stir to combine.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple. Stand the pineapple up and slice off the rind from top to bottom. Then cut it into thirds, lengthwise. Cut the wedges in half, the short way, so you have 6 thick chunks. Remove the cores.
• Put the pineapple wedges onto a nonstick cookie sheet and ladle them with half of the rum sauce. Bake for 30 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized - about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
• Serve a hunk of pineapple covered in the remaining rum sauce, toasted coconut and 2 scoops of ice cream. Enjoy!
• *Note- to toast coconut: Preheat oven to 350 F and spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch it to make sure it doesn't burn.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Season scallops with salt, pepper and chili flakes.
• In a hot pan (I prefer cast iron) add oil. When the oil starts to smoke add scallops and watch closely to make sure its not too hot.
• Sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides, but only flip once.
• Remove and set aside on a plate.
• Next add the chopped garlic and cook for just a minute or two, then add the wine.
• The garlic and wine should start to simmer, continue this until its reduced.
• Then add the pineapple and stir around to coat.
• Pour it all over the scallops and garnish. Serve immediately.
• For the wine I prefer to use Alice White Lexia, its smooth and has more of a fruity flavor.

CREAMY COCONUT AND RUM BAKED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a higher temperature).
• Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into bite-size chunks and lay flat in one layer on a baking tray (I use pyrex).
• Scatter the brown sugar/brown sugar Splenda evenly over the top.
• In a glass, mix the coconut milk with the rum. Pour over the pineapple and put in the oven.
• Cook for 30-35 minutes uncovered, turning and stirring every 10 minutes.
• Serve the pineapple chunks warm with the sauce drizzled over the top. Whipped cream would also be a good addition!

COCONUT SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl stir together coconut and water. Drain coconut in a sieve and pat dry. On a baking sheet spread coconut in one layer and bake in middle of oven until pale golden, about 10 minutes. In a bowl stir together coconut, cayenne, and salt.
• Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In 2 separate shallow bowls have ready flour and lightly beaten egg. Dredge scallops in flour, shaking off excess. Dip each scallop in egg, letting excess drip off, and coat well with coconut.
• In a 10-inch skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook scallops until golden and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Drain scallops on paper towels.
• Serve scallops with lime wedges.

BAKED COCONUT FRENCH TOAST WITH PINEAPPLE-RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a 13x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Whisk eggs in a deep bowl, then whisk in coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Submerge each slice of bread in egg mixture, turning over several times, until saturated, then transfer to prepared sheet pan. Pour remaining egg mixture over bread and chill, covered with plastic wrap, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press coconut evenly into bread. Bake in upper third of oven until cooked through and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring pineapple juice and brown sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring. Add pineapple chunks and bring to a boil, stirring, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Add butter and rum and simmer, stirring, until butter is melted. Keep warm, covered, off heat.
• Serve French toast with warm pineapple-rum sauce.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS IN PINEAPPLE/RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the chunk pineapple to about quarter inch bits, mix with crushed pineapple and set aside.
• Reduce rum and brown sugar. At the same time, reduce white wine and shallots by half. Then combine both parts and continue to reduce, adding cream. When mixture thickens, whip in chunks of butter. Add pineapple. Set sauce aside, keeping warm.
• Mix panko and nuts together in a bowl.
• Lightly beat egg in a bowl with a little added cream.
• Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels.
• Dip scallops in egg, dredge in panko/nut mixture, and saute in butter until golden - about two to four minutes.
• Spoon some sauce on a plate. Place cooked scallops on sauce, spoon some sauce over them and serve.
• This recipe makes enough sauce for two or three pounds of scallops, but saves quite well refrigerated.

PINEAPPLE-COCONUT CAKE WITH RUM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until well blended. Beat on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate small bowl. Combine milk and 1/3 cup rum in another bowl. Add liquids and flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately, blending well after each addition. Fold in pineapple and coconut gently. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, invert onto a plate, and cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes on the top of the cake using a wooden skewer.
• While cake cools, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan for glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
• Pour 1/2 of glaze in the bottom of the Bundt® pan, carefully reinvert the cake back into the pan on top of the glaze. Drizzle remaining glaze onto the bottom of the cake; let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb glaze. Invert cake onto a cake platter.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a pot, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the hot water slowly, whisking constantly.

Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings; stir to incorporate.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple with a large sharp knife. Stand the pineapple up on the counter and slice off the rind from top to bottom; then cut it into thirds lengthwise.

Bake for 30 minutes; then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve a hunk of pineapple covered with remaining rum sauce, toasted coconut, and 2 scoops of ice cream.
