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.

RUM-ROASTED PINEAPPLE AND SUGARED PECANS WITH VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Begin by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into 1/2-inch-thick planks approximately 2 by 2 inches wide; discard the core. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan. Whisk together 1/2 cup water, the rum, sugar, vanilla and salt, and then pour over the pineapple. Sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar, if desired, then roast until caramelized, 17 to 18 minutes. When done, remove the pineapple from the pan and allow to cool slightly before dicing.
• For the pecans: Arrange the pecans in a baking sheet and toast until slightly darkened and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before adding the butter to the baking sheet. Immediately toss the baking sheet to coat the pecans as the butter melts. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and salt and toss once more. Set aside on a plate to cool.
• To assemble, place 2 to 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl. Top with 2 to 3 spoonfuls of rum-roasted pineapple and garnish with sugared pecans.
