Pineapple Chantilly

Pineapple Chantilly

Mom loved this dessert. It is light and refreshing. But you must like rum !! Rum has a very distinct flavor and I am not really fond of it. You can substitute vanilla flavoring if you do not like the rum.

First make the Chantilly Sauce so that it will have time to chill. You can do this early in the day or the day before even. You will need to heat the half and half, egg yolks, sugar and salt in a double boiler to keep it from burning. Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to coat a metal spoon thinly.

Remove pan from the stove and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. Then place in a mixing bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator to cool completely.

Then prepare the pineapple. Cut the pineapple with the crown attached to one side. It will be larger than the other. Then remove all of the pineapple and slice into bite size pieces.

When you are ready to serve, mix the fruit with the brown sugar. Pile the fruit into the larger shell and dot with butter. Cover the crown with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning under the broiler heat. Broil fruit about 6 inches from heat for about 10 minutes
