Wow, we are kindred spirits! I was just thinking of making a caramelised pineapple dish last week. You’ve spooked me

Hi Johanna-I think it might if you add some honey to it too, I think that’s all that’s in the yogurt (it’s a thick yogurt like Jalna or a Greek one). Let me know what you think if you make it!

Hi grace-Yes I’m so glad I found a way to make it less acidic, it’s so good in summer!

Hi Sandie-It took me so long to do it myself It’s so good though, I think I’ll have to do this if I get a regular pineapple again.

Hi Angela-Hehe yes, it’s almost like detox! Welll except for the sugar but it’s um…raw sugar so that’s good isn’t it?

Thanks, we did! I didn’t want the night to end

Hi Cakelaw-Thankyou so much!

This looks so gloriously healthy! I can feel my body yearning for it after an utterly indulgent—but appreciated at the time—October.

I love the picture of all the juices spilling forth from the pineapple. So perfect. And so simple.

BTW, great Halloween photos! It looks like everyone had a spooky and fun time

I LOVE fresh pineapple! Why is it I never thought to caramelize it before, and why is it always the simplest of ideas that escape me?

that yoghurt sounds amazing – I have never seen such thing but have some ground wattleseed I would love to try this with – I wonder if that would work! And the pineapple looks heavenly!

Hi Lynn-Don’t feel bad, wattleseed is a uniquely Australian ingredient so I don’t think it’s well known overseas at all You could even try it with thick cream and it would be great!

Hi Reemski-It’s a great recipe for the hot weather coming up! Especially if the pineapple is chilled.

Hi Cappucino-Just get a whole pinepple and bake away!

Hi Maria-Oh cool, well that’s most of the drama sorted then! Because other than that it’s just straight in the oven which is really easy It’s hard to say as it depends on the size of the pineapple. But I think one piece of pineapple per person so a large one would serve a dozen people or even more! I got about 12 or more pieces out of my pineapple

Hi Miss Honey-I’ve never tried grilling it, I might try it to see how it compares But yeah 2 hours baking is much longer than a flash on the grill.

Hi FFichiban-Haha interesting, I don’t know if I’d caramelise it if I added ham, it might be a bit too much!

Hi Maria-It’s so juicy, I was amazed at how juicy the pineapple ended up being, very nice on a hot night
