Re: cooking pineapples!

I mentioned one (I think when Annie did as well). My version is fresh (or tinned) pineapple, sliced, coated in icing sugar then place under a hot grill until sugar melts and caramelises. Leave to cool a little and eat. Bananas are also nice done this way.

Pineapple fritters are another one but using Chinese batter instead of our heavier batter: use equal quantities of SR flour and cornflour (about 1/3rd of a cup each), 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and about 1/3 cup warm water, as needed. Coat pineapple slices (tinned, not worth wasting fresh pineapple on this one) in flour and dip in batter then fry gently until batter is cooked.

my Da used to give us a treat as kids - bananas soaked in batter and then fried and jam sandwiches done the same way - today sounds very unhealthy!

One of my kids likes pineapple slices thrown on the barbie in his hamburger when we have a family get together. I can't say I am a fan.

I haven't tried banana fritters done in our batter but the Chinese way is lovely. As you say: not healthy but fine as a treat now again. Never had battered fried jam sandwiches though!
